Description

Borderlands: Volunteering Among Europe’s Displaced provides ground-level insight into Europe’s ongoing refugee crisis at important migration points: Serbia, France, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Greece, and Cyprus.
This work moves beyond statistics to highlight the human cost of Europe’s hostile border policies. Through intimate portraits of displaced people, aid workers, and border authorities, the book exposes how European leaders have made seeking asylum increasingly dangerous and sometimes deadly while revealing the ethical complexities facing humanitarian volunteers.
This book presents a comprehensive view of Europe's refugee crisis from multiple vantage points - from Belgrade's urban squats to Greek island detention centers, from French coastal camps to Balkan border forests. The author’s position as insider and outsider allows unique insight into the relationships between refugees, volunteers, smugglers, and authorities.
The book speaks to multiple audiences: those interested in migration policy and human rights; humanitarian workers and volunteers; scholars of forced migration and border studies; and general readers interested in global displacement. By weaving together personal narrative with careful analysis of border policies and practices, this book bridges the gap between academic works and journalistic accounts.
