It undertakes an extensive analysis of a counter-archive of migratory testimonies, co-produced with people on the move across the Mediterranean during 2015 and 2016, to document how EU policy developments create precarity on the part of those migrating under perilous conditions. The book draws attention to the flawed assumptions embedded within the policy agenda, while also exploring the claims and demands for justice that are advanced by people on the move. Written collectively by a team of esteemed scholars from across multiple disciplines, \u003ci\u003eReclaiming migration\u003c\/i\u003e makes an important contribution to debates surrounding migration, borders, postcolonialism and the politics of knowledge production.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e‘In placing the voices of people on the move at the centre of its narrative, \u003ci\u003eReclaiming migration \u003c\/i\u003e embodies a much-needed human-rights-based approach to scholarship on migration.

In creating this counter-archive, the book incisively interrogates the politics of crisis that permeates the twenty-first century and frames understandings of migration. The authors unravel the crisis narrative one thread at a time and reveal how it silences people, produces suffering and precarity, and is intimately tied to deadly deterrent policies. They uncover the sharp limits of the international protection regime and provide a damning postcolonial critique of Europe’s image as a place for human rights, humanitarianism, peace and safety.
