- More about Border Rules: An Abolitionist Refusal
This book explores the border as a social relation shaped by colonial structures and neoliberal modes of accumulation, determining access to wealth and resources and enabling the management of labor, extraction of surplus, and accumulation of capital. It analyzes cultural texts focusing on the US-Mexico and EU-Southern Mediterranean borders and suggests an abolitionist refusal of border rules with an insistence on the necessity of abolition.

This comprehensive book delves into the intricate dynamics of border policies and the opposing narratives surrounding "the border" from 2011 to 2021. It reveals that the term "the border" encompasses not just a physical line of territorial control but also a complex web of social relations shaped by enduring colonial structures and, more recently, neoliberal modes of accumulation. Through meticulous analysis, the book demonstrates how these relations determine access to wealth and resources, facilitate labor management, enable surplus extraction, and contribute to capital accumulation.
The discussion is enriched by a historical perspective on these policies and a critical examination of the literature on borders. The book also explores various cultural texts, including two novels, two films, and two murals, in conjunction with a music video, to shed light on the specific border zones of the US-Mexico and the EU-Southern Mediterranean.
In conclusion, this book offers a thought-provoking exploration of the multifaceted nature of "the border" and its profound impact on societies. It advocates for a borderless future, emphasizing an abolitionist rejection of border rules while emphasizing the urgent need for their abolition. By unraveling the complex social relations that underpin border policies, this book provides valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities facing our globalized world.
