Nicholas De Genova is the author of Working the Boundaries: Race, Space, and "Illegality" in Mexican Chicago, coeditor of The Deportation Regime: Sovereignty, Space, and the Freedom of Movement, and editor of Racial Transformations: Latinos and Asians Remaking the United States, all also published by Duke University Press.

"While enriching insights into current European border studies, these perspectives prompt theoretical insights into migration, refugees, and borders on a global scale. . . . Recommended." - B. Osborne (Choice) “To immerse yourself in [The Borders of “Europe”] is to give timely reflection during a tumultuous time in migration studies, and reminds us that we can yet change course.” - Paul Clewett (LSE Review of Books) “A great methodological contribution that challenges and changes the ways in which Europe, migration and borders are thought about and analyzed. . . . What is most remarkable is that the contributors to the volume did an amazing job in firmly grounding their sophisticated theoretical analysis in rigorous fieldwork.” - Özden Ocak (Europe Now Journal) "This collection of original research provides a rich and valuable addition to the literature on migration and borders in contemporary Europe. The Borders of 'Europe' will be of interest to scholars and students working on migration issues in Europe and beyond." - John Solomos (Ethnic and Racial Studies) "Insightful. . . . Nicholas De Genova’s edited collection is an impeccable addition to migration literature in a transdisciplinary and critical way." - Ali Bilgic (Journal of Contemporary European Studies) "The Borders of 'Europe' provides insight into a wide variety of border-related issues, ranging from Schengen visa applicants’ strategies to agricultural workers’ collective struggles, and informs us of a significant breadth of recent ethnographic research on migration." - Ipek A. Celik Rappas (German Studies Review) "The Borders of 'Europe' is an indispensable read for fellow scholars interested in migration. The attention that the authors give to historical processes leading up to the current situation is particularly appreciated. . . . The book invites us to further reflect on the subtleties and difficulties of a European identity in these tumultuous political times, and to think about future implications of the continuing fortification of Europe. It is eminently useful for all who are interested in issues of migration, bordering and humanitarianism." - Sabine De Graaf (Social Anthropology)
