Didier Fassin is the James D. Wolfensohn Professor of Social Science at the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton. He is the author of numerous books including The Will to Punish (2018), Life: A Critical Users Manual (2018), Prison Worlds: An Ethnography of the Carceral Condition (2016) and Enforcing Order: An Ethnography of Urban Policing.
'This volume is the first to bring together two distinct phenomena
usually studied in separate strands of research: how migration
regimes police the territorial boundaries of states, and how
differentiating between and discriminating against minority groups
creates social boundaries within states. An important and timely
intellectual move'
*Andreas Wimmer, author of 'Ethnic Boundary Making: Institutions,
Networks, Power'*
'This is a splendid collection of essays that illustrates how
racial, gender and class-based discrimination is instrumental to
the justification of the state's right to exclude. With case
studies from five continents and genuinely interdisciplinary
contributions, this volume is an indispensable theoretical and
political tool for reflecting on migration and territorial rights
in the 21st century'
*Lea Ypi, author of 'Global Justice and Avant-Garde Political
Agency'*
