Description

Contending Global Apartheid: Transversal Solidarities and Politics of Possibility spells out a plea for utopia in a crisis-ridden 21st century of unequal development, exclusionary citizenship, and forced migrations. The volume offers a collection of critical essays on human rights movements, sanctuary spaces, and the emplacement of antiracist conviviality in cities across North and South America, Europe, and Africa. Each intervention proceeds from the idea that cities may accommodate both a humanistic sensibility and a radical potential for social transformation. The figure of the 'migrant' is pivotal. It expounds the prospect of transversal solidarity to capture a plurality of commonalities and to abjure dichotomies between in-group and out-group, the national and the international, or society and institutions.

Author Bios Carl-Ulrik Schierup is Professor in Ethnic Studies at Linköping University Sweden, and director of the Institute for Research on Migration, Ethnicity and Society. He co-edited Migration, Precarity and Global Governance: Challenges and Opportunities for Labour (Oxford University Press, 2015).
