Much work has been done on the causes and characteristics of the Arab Spring, but relatively little research has examined the political and spatial consequences that have developed following the uprisings. This book engages with the ways in which spaces in Southern Europe and Northern Africa have been negotiated and transformed by migrants in the wake of the uprisings, showing that their struggles are a continuation of their political movement. Drawing on an innovative countermapping approach, based on radical cartography, Martina Tazzioli illustrates the spatial upheavals caused by migration in the Mediterranean and the transformations created by migration controls applied by European nations. With critical insight on the application of Foucault's concept of governmentality to migration studies, exploration of a reconfigured theory of autonomy of migration and discussion of the politics of invisibility that underpins migration, this book sheds new light on the enduring struggles that follow the Arab Spring.
Introduction / 1. Border interruptions: Working with Foucault between migrant upheavals and spaces of governmentality / 2. Troubling mobilities: Migrants' discordant practices of freedom and the power's hold over time and life / 3. "Which Europe?": migrants' uneven geographies and counter-mapping at the limits of representation / 4. Democracy as a strategy of containment and migration in crisis in revolutionized Tunisia / 5. The desultory politics of mobility: Mediterranean patchy invisibility and the humanitarian-military border / 6. Unspeakable maps: Toward a (non-cartographic) countermapping gaze / Conclusions
