Over the past 25 years, almost 40,000 migrants have been reported missing or died on the borders of Europe, with 6,000 dying in 2016 alone. The EU's response has been to fortify its external borders, leading to the militarization of surveillance and repression. This crisis calls into question the European system for border management and policies on immigration and reception. The Atlas provides an important critical geography of migration policies and gives migrants a voice. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e                                                            \u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Paperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e                              \u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 164 pages\u003cbr\u003e                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 25 June 2019\u003cbr\u003e                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Taylor \u0026amp; Francis Ltd\u003cbr\u003e                          \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book delves into the harrowing tales of individuals who have fled war, poverty, or political crises, risking their lives in their quest for sanctuary in Europe. Over the past 25 years, an alarming number of nearly 40,000 migrants have reportedly disappeared or met tragic ends due to drowning or exhaustion while attempting to cross the borders of Europe. In 2016 alone, a staggering 6,000 migrants lost their lives, making it the deadliest year on record. The recent surge in arrivals since 2015 has sparked a wave of panic across the countries of the European Union, leading them to adopt an increasingly rigid policy of fortifying their external borders. As a result, numerous walls and fences have been constructed, new camps have been established, and reception centers have been set up beyond the borders of Europe, all accompanied by the steady militarization of surveillance and repression. The European Union has played a significant role in both precipitating and prolonging this migrant crisis, raising serious questions about the entire European system for border management and immigration policies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn order to challenge prevailing misconceptions, broaden our perspectives, explore borders, and map the intricate web of control and detention, this Atlas presents a comprehensive critical geography of migration policies. It is designed to serve as a valuable resource for journalists, activists, students of geopolitics, and anyone interested in understanding the complexities of migration. Above all, this Atlas aims to give migrants a voice, amplifying their stories and raising awareness about the challenges they face on their journey to safety.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 638g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 274 x 218 x 10 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781138392861                                                      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Migreurop","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44103875297530,"sku":"9781138392861","price":38.07,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/8b8a937cd06553b725b5b55a561f9947.jpg?v=1627706679","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/atlas-of-migration-in-europe-a-critical-geography-of-migration-policies","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
