DESCRIPTION:Forty thousand people died trying to cross international borders in the 
 past decade,\nwith the high-profile deaths along the shores of Europe only 
 accounting for half of\nthe grisly total. Reece Jones argues that these 
 deaths are not exceptional, but rather the result of\nstate attempts to 
 contain populations and control access to resources and\nopportunities. 
 “We may live in an era of globalization,” he writes, “but much of 
 the\nworld is increasingly focused on limiting the free movement of 
 people.”\n\nIn Violent Borders: Refugees and the Right to Move, Jones 
 crosses the migrant\ntrails of the world, documenting the billions of 
 dollars spent on border security\nprojects and their dire consequences for 
 countless millions. While the poor are\nrestricted by the lottery of birth 
 to slum dwellings in the aftershocks of\ndecolonization, the wealthy travel 
 without constraint, exploiting pools of cheap labor\nand lax environmental 
 regulations. With the growth of borders and resource\nenclosures, the 
 deaths of migrants in search of a better life are intimately connected\nto 
 climate change, environmental degradation, and the growth of global 
 wealth\ninequality.\n\nAdmission is free.\n
