Borders are more than geographical lines - they impact all our lives,
whether it's the inhumanity of deportations, or a rise in racist attacks
in the wake of the EU referendum. Border Nation shows how oppressive
borders must be resisted. Laying bare the web of media myths that
vilify migrants, Leah Cowan dives into the murky waters of corporate
profiteering from borders by companies like G4S, and the ramping up of
everyday borders through legislation.
She looks at their
colonial origins, and explores how a draconian approach to border
crossings damages our communities. As borders multiply, so too must
resistance. From demonstrations inside detention centres to migrant-led
campaigns and acts of cross-border solidarity, people are fighting back
to stand up for everyone's freedom to move.
