It casts light on the sites – from consulates to open seas and deserts – in which Europe’s southern border is made and unmade as an African reality, yielding what the editors call "EurAfrican borders."
“The book is very helpful in setting out the major issues of the externalization of the European border management system in Africa. … EurAfrican Borders and Migration Management is a non-technical read that would appeal to both experts in migration and borderlands studies and the general reader interested in understanding the dynamics of migration from sub-Saharan Africa to Europe and Europe’s attempts in managing it.” (Allwell O. Akhigbe, H-Net Reviews Humanities and Social Sciences, January, 2020)
