No Borders

Reviews / Votes

A useful resource to reflect on the different ways in which activists work with and support migrants. * Socialist Review * In No Borders, Natasha King writes about the more radical end of migrant solidarity * LRB * Cogent and thought-provoking ... King writes of elusive ambiguities and inherent tensions within a utopian no borders politics, offering scholarly direction as to how such an imagined world can exist. * Antipode * No Borders cleverly weaves together interviews, personal testimony, and radical theory to offer a bold narrative of freedom of movement struggles in Europe ... an accessible resource for anyone engaged in the battle against an increasingly violent global border regime. * Anarchist Studies * The book's contribution ... is to inspire a range of critical discourses on the nature of rights and activism. * South African Journal of International Affairs * A gift to all of us who yearn for relevant theory to help us take more effective action, this is an inspiring call to join communities around the world and work for the full realization of human rights rooted in the values of solidarity and the inherent worth and dignity of all. * Chris Crass, author of Towards Collective Liberation * King provides engaging and insightful accounts of a politics that not only radically questions the legitimacy of borders but disrupts their very material presence. She shows us that No Borders is not a political programme but a world making practice. Another world, already here. * Dimitris Papadopoulos, author of Escape Routes: Control and Subversion in the 21st Century * A timely and powerful read for those who support the politics of a freedom of movement not just as a utopian ideal, but who aspire to realize the possibilities of radical alternatives. * Kim Rygiel, author of Globalizing Citizenship * The first extended political analysis of Europe's controversial No Borders movement, from an activist and writer with first-hand experience of the struggle for free movement. * Matt Carr, author of Fortress Europe * King provides a map to a different future where people are free to move and borders are relegated to the dustbin of history. An activists' guide to what it means to refuse borders in practice. * Reece Jones, author of Violent Borders: Refugees and the Right to Move * Thoughtful, provocative and engaged, King's powerful analysis of No Borders communities in Calais and Athens is a must-read for critical scholars and activists alike. * Vicki Squire, University of Warwick * Borders have failed to contain a world in motion or offer a just settlement for millions of people. What is politics in the wake of this double failure? With its focus on new forms of social movement and political action, No Borders will prove vital reading for anyone seeking answers. * William Walters, Carleton University *
