  • More about Everyday Lives of Sovereignty: Political Imagination beyond the State


Border walls and nationalisms are rising as people express the desire to take back sovereignty, but the cases of compromised, contested, or failed sovereignty in this volume show that calls to take back control or bring back order are longings for sovereign agency. The Everyday Lives of Sovereignty offers a new way to understand why these yearnings have such profound political resonance in a globally interconnected world.

The desire to reclaim sovereignty is on the rise worldwide, fueled by border walls and nationalism. In this collection, ethnographic research in disputed and exceptional places delves into sovereignty claims from the ground up. Contrary to initial impressions, the cases presented highlight political imaginations beyond the state form. Examples from Spain to Afghanistan and Western Sahara to Taiwan illustrate how calls for control or order are rooted in longings for sovereign agency. By closely examining these desires and their implications, The Everyday Lives of Sovereignty offers a fresh perspective on why these yearnings resonate politically in a globally interconnected world.
