Abstract:
"This first full account of Europe's most infamous camp for migrants and refugees brings into sharp relief issues that confront us all, in a world where the large-scale movement of people has become a key feature. It reveals how our relationship with outsiders shapes a wider struggle to form local, national and transnational identities"--
Reviews
Publisher Synopsis
'In this detailed depiction of life in "the Jungle", Michel Agier and colleagues offer a powerful, poetic argument about the power and value of place. Taking seriously the lives of those in the camp, this work is a much-needed recognition of their experience and an acknowledgement of their humanity.'Michael Collyer, University of Sussex 'In this work, Michel Agier brings his formidable intellect to bear on how we should understand the Calais "Jungle". The result is a notable contribution to contemporary discussions of mobility, solidarity, precarity and, most importantly, how we think about Europe itself.'Matthew J. Gibney, University of Oxford Read more...
