Walia, H. (2021). <em>Border and Rule: Global Migration, Capitalism, and the Rise of Racist Nationalism</em>. Chicago: Haymarket books. Review by Albina Fatahaj

In the academic year 2021-2022, I began writing my bachelor’s thesis. While the specific research topic was still taking shape, the broader themes – migration and borders – were established early on. Approaching these topics from a decolonial perspective, I started searching for relevant literature. One of the first books I came across was Border and Rule: Global Migration, capitalism, and the Rise of racist nationalism by Harsha Walia, published a couple of months earlier in 2021. The book immediately caught my interest, so I ordered it. At that moment, I had no idea how profoundly it would impact me, both on a personal and intellectual level.

Abstract

In the academic year 2021-2022, I began writing my bachelor’s thesis. While the specific research topic was still taking shape, the broader themes – migration and borders – were established early on. Approaching these topics from a decolonial perspective, I started searching for relevant literature. One of the first books I came across was Border and Rule: Global Migration, capitalism, and the Rise of racist nationalism by Harsha Walia, published a couple of months earlier in 2021. The book immediately caught my interest, so I ordered it. At that moment, I had no idea how profoundly it would impact me, both on a personal and intellectual level.
