Synopsis

Publisher: UniorPress

Series: Mobilità Migrazioni (MoMi)

Pages: 138

Language: English

Abstract: The book addresses a variety of contemporary Euro-Mediterranean migratory and mobility issues. It includes ten articles that, going beyond the crisis rhetoric, focus on some less spectacular discourses and forms which help recognizing the subject in its multidimensional complexity, evidencing the transformations of the field and some of the emerging dynamics. Primarily, the book sheds light on the role of Italian inland rural areas in the euro-mediterranean migration routes. In second stance, it provides a critique of contemporary border externalisation practices implemented by EU member states. Thirdly, it showcases the failure of the EU asylum policies and migrant reception system, focusing on asylum seekers’ daily struggles in three Italian big cities (Bologna, Napoli, Roma). Overall, with no claim to be exhaustive, the book contributes to understand some of the emerging forms of mobility and confinement in contemporary Euro-Mediterranean space.
