Karina Horsti shows with empathy and passion how this disaster produced a kaleidoscope of afterlives that continue to assume different forms depending on the position of the witness or survivors. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePasts and futures intersect in the present when people who were touched by the disaster engage with its memory and politics. Horsti underscores how the perspective of survival can envision a way forward from a horrific unsustainable present. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eSurvival and Witness \u003c\/i\u003eat Europe's Border develops the concept of survival to rethink border deaths beyond the structures and processes that produce the murderous border and constitute the focus of critical migration studies. It demonstrates how the process of survival transforms people and societies. Survival is productive, Horsti argues, shifting the focus in migration studies from apparatuses of control to emphasize the agency and subjectivity of refugees.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Karina Horsti\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 150177140X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501771408\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cornell University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 282\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.92lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.64d","brand":"Karina Horsti","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44201858826495,"sku":"9781501771408","price":31.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_aad39bcf-267c-4fca-8857-13682a0d30d6.jpg?v=1691491839","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/survival-and-witness-at-europes-karina-horsti-9781501771408","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
