Introduction - Challenging the Political Across Borders: Migrants' and Solidarity Struggles
Abstract
This edited volume stems from the workshop ‘Challenging the Political beyond and across Borders: Possibilities and Tensions of Migrants’ and Solidarity Struggles’, which took place in November 2016 at Central European University in Budapest, Hungary. The volume consists of some of the papers presented at the workshop, as well as contributions from scholars who joined us later for this publication. The overall motivation has been to develop collective reflections on solidarity projects and practices with, for, and by migrants, which have been affected by, and also shaped, European border and migration policies in differentiated ways. This introduction reviews some of the major topics of debate addressed in the workshop and the present volume.
