Alpine Border Conflicts: Migration and Social Polarization in the Everyday Life of Intra-EU Borders de Cecilia Vergnano

Alpine Border Conflicts: Migration and Social Polarization in the Everyday Life of Intra-EU Borders: Crossing Borders in a Global World: Applying Anthropology to Migration, Displacement, and Social Change

Autor Cecilia Vergnano Cuvânt înainte de Maurice Stierl, Silvia Aru
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 9 aug 2024
Few places are more revealing than the Alps to grasp the uneven EU core-periphery dynamics intrinsic to the EU border regime. In 2015, the reintroduction of controls at northern Italian borders, as a response to asylum seekers' mobility, gave rise to a series of conflicts, contradictions and solidarities which this book explores. The ethnographic analysis of the everyday life of the French/Italian and Austrian/Italian borders makes visible the impacts of governance strategies which promote social polarization to contain potentially subversive moments of disruptions and transgressions. By contextualizing the governance of borders and migration in a broader framework, which includes the governance of EU states' debt, Alpine Border Conflicts focuses on the effects of border regimes not only on migrants but also on EU societies.

About the Author

Recenzii

This deeply researched and beautifully written book turns the spotlight onto the violence faced by racialised life seekers as they encounter and traverse Alpine borderscapes and asks the important question of what these experiences tell us about and mean for European society.
A remarkable ethnographic work, thanks to which Vergnano has closely observed how the reintroduction of systematic border controls in the very heart of Europe have transformed the Alps into a barrier. And how, at the same time, breaches of protest and surprising alliances have emerged. Vergnano questions archetypal figures such as "smugglers" and "activists" to the benefit of a "social drama" that she constructs with great brilliance. This book reads like a novel, with ethnographic vignettes that plunge the reader into an "upside down" world.
"This is a must read for anyone who wants to understand from a close range the multiple meanings of crossing borders in today's Europe for the the various actors involved in what has unnecessarily become a matter of life and death. The book, with its uncompromising insistance on the humanity of actors, leaves the reader hopeful about the potentialities of bridging divides and unbordering societies."
