Hall locates \u003ci\u003eThe Migrant's Paradox\u003c\/i\u003e on streets in the far-flung parts of de-industrialized peripheries, where jobs are hard to come by and the impacts of historic state underinvestment are deeply felt. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDrawing on hundreds of in-person interviews on streets in Birmingham, Bristol, Leicester, London, and Manchester, Hall brings together histories of colonization with current forms of coloniality. Her six-year project spans the combined impacts of the 2008 financial crisis, austerity governance, punitive immigration laws and the Brexit Referendum, and processes of state-sanctioned regeneration. She incorporates the spaces of shops, conference halls, and planning offices to capture how official border talk overlaps with everyday formations of work and belonging on the street.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOriginal and ambitious, Hall's work complicates understandings of migrants, demonstrating how migrant journeys and claims to space illuminate the relations between global displacement and urban emplacement. In articulating \"a citizenship of the edge\" as an adaptive and audacious mode of belonging, she shows how sovereignty and inequality are maintained and refuted. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Suzanne M.
