Examining key events in the wake of the 'refugee crisis' in Germany, it traces how the initial hope and empathy of the long summer of migration of 2015 gave way to national anger, fear and shamelessness in the years following. Challenging the assumption that positive emotions like compassion necessarily work as a counter to negative emotions like anger or fear, the book reveals the racial grammars of deservingness that shape border governance today. Combining queer feminist theories of affect with postcolonial border and migration studies, Affective bordering offers a thought-provoking perspective on borders in today's world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'As one of the new leading voices on the intersections of migration studies and queer and transnational feminism, Holzberg compellingly shows that those interested in addressing the deadly violence of borders must expand our affective and political grammars towards discomfort - only then will we be able to imagine alternatives to nationalism and violence.'\u003cbr\u003eMiriam Ticktin, Professor of Anthropology, CUNY Graduate Centre \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e'From hope and empathy to anger and fear, Holzberg incisively reveals how \"positive\" as well as \"negative\" affects jointly contribute to bordering, drawing a line between \"us\" and \"them\", subjects and objects of affects.'\u003cbr\u003e?ric Fassin, Professor of Sociology, Universit?

Examining key events in the wake of the so-called 'refugee crisis' in Germany, it traces how the initial hope and empathy of the early days of the long summer of migration of 2015 could so easily give way to national anger, fear and shamelessness in the years that followed. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In developing the concept of affective bordering, the book challenges the notion that appeals to positive affective forces like compassion necessarily work as a counter to negative emotions such as anger, resentment and fear. Instead, it reveals the racial grammars of deservingness that shape practices of affective bordering and that privilege the affective life of the nation over the concerns, experiences and demands of migrants. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Combining queer feminist theories of affect with postcolonial border and migration studies, \u003ci\u003eAffective bordering\u003c\/i\u003e offers a thought-provoking perspective on the reproduction and contestation of borders in today's world.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBilly Holzberg is Assistant Professor (Lecturer) in Social Justice, King's College London\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 192\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.41 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 20, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53248923730227,"sku":"9781526196279","price":70.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/HqF2GYIWYe9781526196279.webp?v=1776317398","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/affective-bordering-race-deservingness-and-the-emotional-politics-of-migration-control-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
