Matt Mitchelson (Editor) > Andrew Burridge (Editor) > Klappentext The crisis of borders and prisons can be seen starkly in statistics. In 2011 some 1,500 migrants died trying to enter Europe, and the US deported nearly 400,000 and imprisoned some 2.3 million people - more than at any other time in history. International borders are increasingly militarised places embedded within domestic policing and imprisonment and entwined with expanding prison complexes. This offers scholarly and activist perspectives on these issues and explores how the international community can move toward a more humane future.
