Destitution Economies of Migration Control: Poverty, Legality, and the Production of Value
OPEN TO THE PUBLIC | Increasingly, migration control involves making migrants destitute in particular ways. In an analysis of border encampment in Thailand, Kate Coddington, Department of Geography and Planning, SUNY Albany, explores how the detachment of workers from citizenship produces not only destitution, but new forms of value as well. Focusing on these destitution economies of migration control highlights how political regimes are producing new circuits of value in and through law, state practices, and exclusion.
