Liminal Diasporas: Contemporary Movements of Humanity and the Environment

This book offers readers a new lens to critically meditate on the necropolitics of migration. Using the term ＂liminal diasporas,＂ the co-editors and range of authors of this volume define this notion as migratory bodies that are simultaneously subject to danger, violence, and precarious modalities of life.
