Border and Rule

In "Border and Rule," Harsha Walia challenges simplistic narratives surrounding the migrant and refugee crises, presenting them as direct consequences of conquest, capitalist globalization, and climate change. She explores global patterns of border governance that displace and criminalize people, highlighting the role of US border policy and the colonial legacies shaping immigration practices in regions like Europe and Australia. Walia connects various geopolitical contexts to reveal how these dynamics maintain systemic inequalities and contribute to the growing phenomenon of statelessness and racial violence worldwide.
