Migration and Racialization in Times of "Crisis"
The Making Of Crises And Their Effects
Various AuthorsSeries: Studies in International Development and Globalization(0)
About
The health crisis, the migration crisis, the humanitarian crisis, and the climate crisis. The repeating reference to the idea of crisis to label numerous social upheavals suggests that we now live in a world defined by crisis.
Yet the urgency inherent in a crisis often leads to the normalization of rights violations and increased surveillance, profiling and arbitrary arrests, making visible the state's control over bodies, and certain bodies, in particular.
Migration and Racialization in Times of "Crisis" explores the colonial, racist and sexist underpinnings of various declarations of crisis, as well as their effects. Taken together, these contributions show that the state of crisis manifests as a condition for the maintenance of racial and patriarchal capitalism.
The English and French version of this title, though distinct, complement each other to offer a more comprehensive and critical look at this approach of "governing through crisis". Leila Benhadjoudja (Editor)

Enquête auprès de migrants marocains au Québec (PUM, 2022) and co-edited several thematic issues and books, including Erving Goffman et le travail social (PUO, 2017).
Modern history's recurring upheavals-health, humanitarian, financial, and more-reveal a system governed by instability, sustaining racial and patriarchal capitalism. This work exposes how such events obscure systemic oppression, erode freedoms, and harm marginalized communities. The "crises" and issues addressed are highly topical (COVID-19, refugees, racism, etc.) and of interest to the general public A teaching tool for teachers in a variety of disciplines A source of reference for anti-racist activists and professionals (practitioners, senior civil servants, managers) in various sectors (public health, migration policy) The bilingual and international nature of the book, and therefore the general nature of the issue (the generalization of the crisis paradigm), will attract an audience beyond Canada's borders, in both French and English The digital versions (PDF and EPUB) of this book are accessible, in accordance with Benetech's Certified Global Accessible (CGA) standards, to which the PUO-UOP have obtained accreditation.
