What is Bordering and Governmentality Around the Greek Islands about?

This book focuses on processes of bordering and governmentality around the Greek border islands from the declaration of a refugee crisis in the summer of 2015 up until the emergence of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020. The chapters trace the implementation of the EU migration hotspot approach across space and time, from the maritime Aegean border to the islands (Lesvos and Samos) and from the islands to the Greek mainland. They do so through the lenses of peoples refusal to succumb to categories that get reified as identities through the hotspot approach, such as that of the deserving refugee, the undeserving economic migrant, the translator, the volunteer, the tourist and the researcher. This book explores how migration management in Greece from 2015-2020, along with the reshaping of space and time, reconfigured peoples relationships with one another and ultimately with ones self.

She is also co-coordinator of the Research Area Mobility: Migration and Borders at the Feminist Autonomous Centre for Research (Athens). She holds a PhD in Geography from King's College London and ha
