Bordering intimacy: Postcolonial governance and the policing of family

By Joe Turner

Book Overview

Bordering intimacy explores how borders are used to police who can be 'family' and how 'family' is used to legitimate, justify and naturalise state borders. Family and borders were central to the architecture of European colonialism and imperialism, and they continue to organise the racialisation and dispossession of people today.
