Join Harsha Walia and Robin D.G. Kelley for a discussion about racist border regimes, capitalism and migration, and the ascent of the far-right across the world, marking the release of Walia\u2019s Border and Rule: Global Migration, Capitalism, and the Rise of Racist Nationalism.\n\nIn Border and Rule, one of North America\u2019s foremost thinkers and immigrant rights organizers delivers an unflinching examination of migration as a pillar of global governance and gendered racial class formation.\n\nHarsha Walia disrupts easy explanations for the migrant and refugee crises, instead showing them to be the inevitable outcomes of conquest, capitalist globalization, and climate change generating mass dispossession worldwide.\n\nBorder and Rule explores a number of seemingly disparate global geographies with shared logics of border rule that displace, immobilize, criminalize, exploit, and expel migrants and refugees. With her keen ability to connect the dots, Walia demonstrates how borders divide the international working class and consolidate imperial, capitalist, ruling class, and racist nationalist rule.\n\nAmbitious in scope and internationalist in orientation, Border and Rule breaks through American exceptionalist and liberal responses to the migration crisis and cogently maps the lucrative connections between state violence, capitalism, and right-wing nationalism around the world.\n\nUS readers, purchase Border and Rule 30% off here: https://www.haymarketbooks.org/books/1553-border-and-rule\n\nCanadian readers, purchase here: https://fernwoodpublishing.ca/book/border-and-rule\n\nUK readers, purchase here: https://uk.bookshop.org/books/border-and-rule-global-migration-capitalism-and-the-rise-of-racist-nationalism/9781642592696\n----------------------------------------------------\n\nAbout the speakers:\n\nHarsha Walia is the award-winning author of Undoing Border Imperialism (2013) and, most recently, Border and Rule.
