«
'Tells amazing stories from the ground of how people negotiate with borders, state, local officials and carry on lives in the midst of everyday border violence. There is no morality play here. Migration, clandestine existence and illegal activities like smuggling - these are not acts to be found in some independent criminal universe. These are part of society's subterranean life'
