In a provocative contribution, Chouliaraki and Georgiou illuminate the exclusionary workings of digital borders. This broad-ranging book launches a compelling critique of the constitutive power of digital infrastructures in shaping the crisis of migration. Timely and topical, The Digital Border will be essential reading across disciplines about transformations in border regimes. * Radha S. Hegde, author of Mediating Migration * Provides a striking critical analysis of the mutations and workings of border regimes. While its focus is the digitalization of border control, it more broadly places its analysis within an understanding of the border as a field of tensions, shedding light on its territorial and symbolic dimension as well as on the multiple regimes of securitization at work today. * Sandro Mezzadra, University of Bologna * The Digital Border's contribution lies in many spaces but its ability to connect questions of power, technology, datafication, entrepreneurship, the commons and media narratives is impressive... That this book is timely goes without saying. It's nuanced and thickly layered conceptual focus married to rich empirical cases does the work of appealing to different audiences at a time when imaginaries of crisis exist in a heightened form globally. As such, this book is the perfect companion to help debunk, re-imagine and understand the aggrieved world we find ourselves inhabiting in 2023. -- Ethnic and Racial Studies * Ethnic and Racial Studies *
