About the book
This edited volume offers a novel lens to situate Europeanisation as violence – through institutions and technologies of development, cultural heritage, and borders, among others – by bringing South and East within a relational frame. Through four inter-related sections, it foregrounds Europeanisation as infrastructural violence and colonial asymmetries, slow violence and the construction of stratified subalternities, epistemic dispossession, and border epistemologies.

About editors
Dr. Kolar Aparna is a postdoctoral researcher in our Subproject 3: Migration and the narratives of Europe as an Area of Freedom, Security and Justice. She is a woman of colour with a background in performing arts and geography. Her work is focused on producing situated knowledges on borders, displacement and mobilities that move relationally across spatio-temporalities of imperial, colonial and settler legacies shaping the present.
Dr. Daria Krivonos (Swedish School of Social Science) is a sociologist specialising in migration, labour, racialisation and critical race and whiteness. Her work revolves around the question of how race, class, and gender are revised and remade in the contexts of East-West migration, and how global and local processes of racialisation produce valued and devalued categories of workers.
Dr. Elisa Pascucci (Tampere University) is a human geographer with a special focus on political geography. Elisa’s fields of interest encompass for example refugee and migrant political agency, humanitarianism and humanitarian aid, borders, spaces and infrastructures of refuge and the question of mobility.
