An urgent, global account of the migration crisis and the function of borders across political, social, cultural, and economic systems.
Harsha Walia is een auteur en activist met een formele juridische achtergrond wiens werk zich richt op thema's van sociale en economische rechtvaardigheid. Haar schrijven gaat diep in op kwesties van migratie, racisme en verzet, vaak verweven met haar activisme. Walia benadert haar ambacht met een nadruk op het verbinden van theorie en praktijk, en probeert een kritische lens te bieden op systemische ongelijkheden.
An urgent, global account of the migration crisis and the function of borders across political, social, cultural, and economic systems.
Undoing Border Imperialism combines academic discourse, lived experiences of displacement, and movement-based practices into an exciting new book. By reformulating immigrant rights movements within a transnational analysis of capitalism, labor exploitation, settler colonialism, state building, and racialized empire, it provides the alternative conceptual frameworks of border imperialism and decolonization. Drawing on the author’s experiences in No One Is Illegal, this work offers relevant insights for all social movement organizers on effective strategies to overcome the barriers and borders within movements in order to cultivate fierce, loving, and sustainable communities of resistance striving toward liberation. The author grounds the book in collective vision, with short contributions from over twenty organizers and writers from across North America.
