Everyday Border StrugglesThis book examines everyday borders in the UK and Calais as sites of ethicalpolitical struggle between segregation and solidarity.In an age of mobility, borders appear to be everywhere. Encountered moreand more in our everyday lives, borders locally enact global divisions andinequalities of power, wealth, and identity. Critically examining everydayborders in the UK and Calais, Tyerman shows them to be sites of ethicalpolitical struggle. From the Calais ‘jungle’ to the UK’s ‘hostile environment’,this book shows how borders are carried out through practices of everydaysegregation that make life for some but not others unliveable. At the sametime, it reveals the practices of everyday solidarity with which people on themove confront these segregating borders. This book sheds light on the com-plex ways borders entrench themselves in our lives, the complicity of ordinarypeople in their enactment, and the seductive power they continue to assertover our political imaginations.Of general interest to scholars and students working on issues of migra-tion, borders, citizenship, and security in international politics, sociology, andphilosophy, this book will also appeal to practitioners in areas of migrantrights, asylum advocacy, anti- detention or deportation campaigning, humanrights, direct democracy, and community organising.Thom Tyermanis a lecturer in International Politics at Sheffield HallamUniversity, UK.
