| Sumario: | "This book is a historical and ethnographic tour that presents the configuration of European borders, a key element in the definition of Europe as a political project and as an imagined community of belonging. It is not an ethnography about the lives of migrants, but rather it focuses on how they are imagined, criminalized, assisted, detained, transferred; In short, how the new forms of government have been configured over the people who are categorized as migrants. The work analyzes this government regime through some of the most defining border areas of Europe: Ceuta, the Spanish city bordering Morocco, whose image symbolizes fortress Europe and which has become a sweet prison; Ventimiglia, an Italian city neighboring France, the scene of the most criminalized citizen solidarity and a fracture point in Europe without internal borders; Calais, the French city that leads to the British Isles, has become a hostile environment for migrants; and Katsikas, a reception camp, a border site in the interior of Greece, an example of the European definition of reception"- Publisher.
