Abstract:
"The Digital Border explores the role of technologies and platforms -from surveillance infrastructures to smartphones to online news media - in the transformation of the border as a site for both transnational mobility governance and migration imaginaries and encounters. Through case studies across media platforms and narratives, the book illuminates how the digital enables, yet also challenges, new synergies of security with humanitarianism, entrepreneurialism, and ethno-nationalism across territorial and symbolic divides.
