SUMMARY:Reese Jones
DESCRIPTION:in conversation with Ingrid Contreras Rojas \ndiscussing his new book \nViolent Borders: Refugees and the Right to Move \nfrom Verso Books \nA major new exploration of the refugee crisis\, focusing on how borders are formed and policed \nForty thousand people died trying to cross international borders in the past decade\, with the high-profile deaths along the shores of Europe only accounting for half of the grisly total. \nReece Jones argues that these deaths are not exceptional\, but rather the result of state attempts to contain populations and control access to resources and opportunities. “We may live in an era of globalization\,” he writes\, “but much of the world is increasingly focused on limiting the free movement of people.” \nIn Violent Borders\, Jones crosses the migrant trails of the world\, documenting the billions of dollars spent on border security projects and their dire consequences for countless millions. While the poor are restricted by the lottery of birth to slum dwellings in the aftershocks of decolonization\, the wealthy travel without constraint\, exploiting pools of cheap labor and lax environmental regulations. With the growth of borders and resource enclosures\, the deaths of migrants in search of a better life are intimately connected to climate change\, environmental degradation\, and the growth of global wealth inequality. \nReece Jones is a Professor of Geography at the University of Hawaii in Manoa\, and the author of Border Walls: Security and the War on Terror in the United States\, India\, and Israel. \nIngrid Rojas Contreras is the 2014 recipient of the Mary Tanenbaum Literary Award in Nonfiction from the San Francisco Foundation. She has received awards and support from Bread Loaf\, Hedgebrook\, the San Francisco Writer’s Grotto\, Djerassi Artist Residency\, National Association of Latino Arts and Cultures\, and the San Francisco Arts Commission. Currently\, she is working on a memoir about her grandfather\, a medicine man from Colombia who it was said could move clouds. \nCrtitical praise for the work of Reese Jones: \n“I’d like an endless supply of Reece Jones’ Violent Borders to hand out to all the people I meet who flirt with an anti-refugee sensibility. This book is the antidote to the world of walls that we live in\, an argument for a world of humanity.” \n– Vijay Prashad\, author of The Poorer Nations: A Possible History of the Global South \n“A much-needed counter to a thousand newspaper columns calling on us to secure our borders\, Reece Jones’ Violent Borders goes beyond the headlines to look at the deeper causes of the migration crisis. Borders\, Jones convincingly argues\, are a means of inflicting violence on poor people. This is an engaging and lucid analysis of a much misunderstood issue.” \n– Arun Kundnani\, author of The Muslims Are Coming: Islamophobia\, Extremism\, and the Domestic War on Terror \n“From early modern land enclosures through Westphalian state formation to the current fortification of the US–Mexico frontier\, Reece Jones explains what a boundary is\, and how national sovereignty is being reinforced\, in an age of capital mobility\, by the crackdown on human movement across borders.” \n– Jeremy Harding\, author of Border Vigils: Keeping Migrants Out of the Rich World \n“With the building of border walls and the deaths of migrants much in the news\, this work is both timely and necessarily provocative.” \n– Kirkus Reviews \n“In an era of terrorism\, global inequality\, and rising political tension over migration\, Jones argues that tight border controls make the world worse\, not better.” \n– Boston Globe \n“Reece Jones\, a professor of Geography at the University of Hawaii at Manoa\, believes that borders are essentially tools of violence used to constrict and sometimes entirely stop flows of humanity. And Jones has the facts to back up this radical assertion…This book is a valuable antidote to the xenophobia sweeping the privileged nations of the Northern Hemisphere.” \n– Darwin BondGraham\, East Bay Express
