Unruly subjects
Unruly Subjects takes readers to the epicentre of Europe's intensifying border struggles: the Aegean islands in Greece, where thousands of 'undesirable' migrants have been warehoused and violently abandoned in EU-funded refugee camps.
Drawing on nearly a decade of research, Ludek Stavinoha reveals the subterranean corners in which resistance brews and solidarity takes hold. The narrative traces migrants' everyday struggles for dignity and their rights, alongside grassroots volunteers who have built vital infrastructures of support.
At the heart of the book are the creative, albeit precarious and ambivalent, solidarities forged between volunteers and refugees, citizens and non-citizens. These alliances challenge racialised boundaries and logics of control, in defiance of state-sanctioned violence, criminalisation, and neglect.
Urgent and compelling, Unruly Subjects illuminates how people navigate and subvert Europe's increasingly hostile border regime, presenting alternative pathways amidst the adversity.
