'Through this important collaborative intervention, Amilhat Szary and Giraut, at long last, bring the promise of the widely heralded 'spatial turn' to border studies. Breaking through the by-now tedious incantation that borders have not disappeared as a result of globalization and 'are still with us', the contributors to this exciting volume move the discipline's goalposts by articulating a powerfully normative political project for border studies, one that is critically attuned to the geometries of power and their effects in every act of de/re-bordering. Unafraid of critical social theory, demonstrating a cutting-edge spatial sensibility and alive to both the epistemological and governmental stakes of borders-on-the-move (ie, 'borderities'), the volume reveals an international palette of established border scholarship at the top of its game, including an up-and-coming generation of voices eager to make their mark on the field. Their work will challenge us to expand the future horizon of border studies in richly unanticipated directions.'- Olivier Thomas Kramsch, Radboud University, The Netherlands
'Border Studies passed in two decades from marginal specialty to central interdisciplinary field and problematic: it is now a crowded intellectual public space Nevertheless, by creating a new concept, borderities, which at the same time subverts and generalizes the old 'juridical-territorial' notion, the authors of this book brilliantly succeed in transforming it, decisively 'mobilizing' the spatial, political, demographic and esthetic dimensions of a phénomène social total [comprehensive/total social phenomenon] that is an institution, an instrument of power and a lived experience, but also, quite often, a wound.' - Etienne Balibar, author of Equaliberty (2014), Columbia University, New York, USA
'Anyone who is interested in the workings of borders in a globalized world should read this book. With the remarkable concept of 'borderity,' this book goes beyond circular definitions of the state, territory, and borders in which each of these terms seems to call forth the others to instead usher in a new socio-spatial understanding of the border equal to our challenging times.' - Anna Secor, University of Kentucky, USA
'Fueled by discontent with the 'tautological binding of territory, state and border,' these authors respond boldly to calls for new border theories. Their creative collection offers thought-provoking and visually-stimulating ideas on the separation of border controls from locations. These are new insights in border studies, a field that is old, but ever-changing.' - Alison Mountz, Wilfrid Laurier University, Canada
