Recenzje

'Overall, Borders, Asylum and Global Non-Citizenship: The Other Side of the Fence is an insightful and up-to-date contribution to the literature on sovereignty and migrants, particularly for students who approach the topic for the first time. The introduction of the concept of irregularity in relation to migration and state policy represents a crucial point in understanding contemporary realities.' Veronica Ferreri, Nordic Journal of Migration Research
