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',
The refugee crisis in Europe showed how racial and ethnic boundaries are often instrumentalised to justify the strengthening of state borders - regardless of the cost in human life. But there are other, less tragic, examples that illustrate this overlapping as well, and ultimately demonstrate that the oft-differentiated spheres of borders and boundaries are best understood through their relationship to one another.
Deepening Divides explores this relationship from many distinct perspectives and national contexts, with case studies covering five continents and drawing on anthropology, gender studies, law, political science and sociology for a truly interdisciplinary collection.
