Time, Migration and Forced Immobility

This book opens a window into the existential reverberations of
geopolitical arrangements between Morocco and the EU, offering
a compassionate and eloquent illustration of the process by which
immobilised migrants become displaced within humanity. They survive in
an in-between space, where normal rules and codes of behaviour through
which we recognise the humanity of others are suspended.
By centring her analysis on the ‘forcefully immobilised’ rather than
‘transiting’ migrants, Stock wants to challenge dominant perspectives
that inform much of policy-driven migration research. As she explains
in the introduction, this approach enables her to expose ‘the underlying
contradictions in the conventional way of conceptualising mobility and
migration’.
