‘An impressive and compelling edited volume on collective movements and the “counter-discourses” that characterise them. In our turbulent times, this volume provides a critical outlook at the idea of movement, both as mobilisation and emergence of new political subjectivities, engaging with politics of affect and emotions to reframe pressing topics such as migration and nationalism.’
