Описание: The Egyptian regime consistently employs labour emigration to their own advantage in order to remain in power. Drawing on a wealth of unexplored sources, Tsourapas identifies the complex strategies that authoritarian regimes develop to ensure that migration aids their survival and shows that cross-border mobility and power are inextricably linked.
At a time when thousands of refugees risk their lives undertaking perilous journeys by boat across the Mediterranean, this multidisciplinary volume could not be more pertinent. It offers various contemporary case studies of boat migrations undertaken by asylum seekers and refugees around the globe and shows that boats not only move people and cultural capital between places, but also fuel cultural fantasies, dreams of adventure and hope, along with fears of invasion and terrorism. The ambiguous nature of memories, media representations and popular culture productions are highlighted throughout in order to address negative stereotypes and conversely, humanize the individuals involved.
