"This volume goes beyond the conventional frame of photography and migration to provide a unique perspective on the intersection of these issues. With important global and historical dimensions, the contributors understand photography as a performative practice rather than just a representational medium. The result is a collection that will become an indispensable reference on a permanent crisis."
David Campbell, World Press Photo Foundation
"This is not the moment for one author to tell us narratives of the worldwide phenomenon of migration. This is the moment of collaborative research and multiple approaches to understand the complexities of migration and its practices. This book is highly recommended for everyone interested in the most challenging human catastrophe of our time."
Bettina Gockel, University of Zurich
