Crisis and the Making of the Bogus Refugee
Crisis and the Making of the Bogus Refugee
This chapter traces the relationship between productions of identity and geography—here, the discourse of the bogus refugee related to the remote detention and subsequent invisibility of those seeking asylum. It shows how states capitalize on moments of crisis as communicated by the media, and how global processes of exclusion are inscribed on migrant bodies. The narrative of who these migrants were explains where they were located and vice versa. Boundaries function in international political territorialization and in practices of identity construction.
