Abstract

What did it mean to be an alien, and in particular an enemy alien, in the interstate conflicts that occurred over the nineteenth century and that climaxed in the First World War? In this ambitious and broad-ranging study, Daniela L. Caglioti highlights the many ways in which belligerent countries throughout the world mobilized populations along the member/non-member divide, redefined inclusion and exclusion, and refashioned notions and practices of citizenship. She examines what it meant to be an alien in wartime, how the treatment of aliens in wartime interfered with sovereignty and the rule of law, and how that treatment affected population policies, individual and human rights, and conceptions of belonging. Concentrating on the gulf between citizens and foreigners and on the dilemma of balancing rights and security in wartime, Caglioti highlights how each country, regardless of its political system, chose national security even if this meant reducing freedom, discriminating among citizens and non-citizens, and violating international law.

Abstract

“In this timely and brilliant book Gargiulo delves into the complexity of residence and sheds light on its deeply political nature. He demonstrates that residency is somehow close to what Hannah Arendt famously called the ‘right to have rights.’ Through the lens of residency Gargiulo explores the multiplication of borders in the contemporary world, mutations of migration management, and the intertwining of processes of inclusion and exclusion.” — Sandro Mezzadra, University of Bologna, Italy “In an era in which border walls are rising across the globe, Invisible Borders provides an in-depth exploration of ‘status borders’ - internal to the nation-state - that exclude vulnerable individuals from full local membership via the administrative practices of city officials. Gargiulo’s thorough and important interrogation of Italian municipal registration reverberates beyond Italy to any location in which neoliberal state practices impose regimes of local in/exclusion, further increasing the precarity of those on the margins.” — Monica W. Varsanyi, City University of New York, USA This book analyses residency, a form of municipal membership that plays a strategic role in Italy, as well as in other countries. Residency is a two-faced juridical status: it is both a means for exercising rights and moving freely within a state territory and, at the same time, a tool of control which works through identification and registration. Gargiulo investigates residency both historically and theoretically, showing that the status of resident is a special kind of border, namely, a status border, which draws the lines of local citizenship. Due to the strategic role played by this status, central governments and many local authorities have tried to restrict the recognition of residency. By explaining that the mechanisms of exclusion from residency work as administrative barriers, and showing their aims and effects in terms of civic stratification and differential inclusion, this book contributes to the debates on local citizenship, borders, and discretionary power. Enrico Gargiulo is Associate Professor in Sociology at the Alma Mater Studiorum, University of Bologna, Italy. .

Abstract

This open access monograph provides an overview of the everyday lives of undocumented migrants, thereby focusing on housing, employment, social networks, healthcare, migration trajectories as well as their use of the internet and social media. Although the book’s empirical focus is Finland, the themes connect the latter to broader geographical scales, reaching from global migration issues to the EU asylum policies, including in the post-2015 situations and during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as from national, political, and societal issues regarding undocumented migrants to the local challenges, opportunities, and practices in municipalities and communities. The book investigates how one becomes an undocumented migrant, sometimes by failing the asylum process. The book also discusses research ethics and provides practical guidelines and reflects on how to conduct quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods research about undocumented migrants. Finally, the book addresses emerging research topics regarding undocumented migrants. Written in an accessible and engaging style the book is an interesting read for students, scholars, policymakers, and practitioners.
