Recensioner i media

“Fiske's work presents a timely and important contribution. Especially her commitment to providing much space to the voices and experiences of immigration … . The book is written in an accessible manner, which makes it an easy read for a broad audience. … This said, I highly recommend Fiske's book to all those interested in human rights issues, and in particular the rights of migrants and struggles around immigration detention.” (Hinger .S, Border Criminologies, law.ox.ac.uk, 07 April 2017)
