{"product_id":"the-migration-apparatus-gregory-feldman-9780804761062","title":"The Migration Apparatus: Security, Labor, and Policymaking in the European Union","description":"Every year, millions of people from around the world grapple with the European Union's emerging migration management apparatus. Through border controls, biometric information technology, and circular migration programs, this amorphous system combines a whirlwind of disparate policies. \u003ci\u003eThe Migration Apparatus\u003c\/i\u003e examines the daily practices of migration policy officials as they attempt to harmonize legal channels for labor migrants while simultaneously cracking down on illegal migration. Working in the crosshairs of debates surrounding national security and labor, officials have limited individual influence, few ties to each other, and no serious contact with the people whose movements they regulate. As Feldman reveals, this complex construction creates a world of indirect human relations that enables the violence of social indifference as much as the targeted brutality of collective hatred. Employing an innovative \"nonlocal\" ethnographic methodology, Feldman illuminates the danger of allowing indifference to govern how we regulate population--and people's lives--in the world today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gregory Feldman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 080476106X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780804761062\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/19\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2012","brand":"Gregory Feldman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48065148387583,"sku":"9780804761062","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0424e056-3532-41e0-a921-085b7a67e64f.jpg?v=1768673315","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-migration-apparatus-gregory-feldman-9780804761062","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
