It examines how policing and security practices produce irregularity and illegitimacy, while also implying processes of dissidence and resistance. The book investigates how technologies are employed by states and EU border agencies to configure the border regimes, how spaces of migration are configured through the use of high-tech technologies, and how the border regimes and 'the border industrial complex' are contested and reconfigured by the use of ICT by migrants and solidarity networks. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hardback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 272 pages\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 19 July 2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Rowman \u0026amp; Littlefield\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Migration Mobile provides a comprehensive account of the diverse technologies involved in border crossing and migration management. Borders have long been arenas of contention and conflict, shaping the identities and movements of individuals within transnational and national spaces. Policing and security practices, intricately woven into the border process, contribute to the irregularity and illegitimacy of migrants. Simultaneously, border practices evoke acts of dissidence and resistance. Border infrastructures and resistance to bordering practices encompass intricate interactions between migrants and non-human entities, including technologies at the borderland and beyond. Border guards, EU officials, Frontex officers, activists, NGOs, and solidarity networks configure hybrid alliances of humans and nonhumans, as well as create new virtual and urban spaces, to enforce or resist bordering practices.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough an analysis of empirical cases drawn from the European border regimes, the book explores how technologies employed by states and EU border agencies shape border regimes, how spaces of migration are configured through the use and re-use of high-tech technologies, and how the border regimes and the \"border industrial complex\" are contested and reconfigured by the use of ICT by migrants and solidarity networks.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Migration Mobile sheds light on the intricate web of technologies, practices, and power dynamics that shape the border landscape, offering a valuable insight into the complex dynamics of migration and border control.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 229 x 152 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781538165164\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44102256296186,"sku":"9781538165164","price":104.31,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1660324958505_book.jpg?v=1660559157","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/the-migration-mobile-border-dissidence-sociotechnical-resistance-and-the-construction-of-irregularized-migrants-9781538165164","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
