Series: Global Migration and Social Change

This book is concerned with the effects of migration policy-making in Europe on migrants in the Global South and challenges current migration politics to consider alternative ways of looking at the modern migratory phenomenon.

Based on in-depth ethnographic research in Morocco with migrants from Sub-Saharan Africa, the author considers current migration dynamics from the perspectives of migrants themselves to examine the long-term social effects of immobility experienced by migrants whom get stuck in 'transit' countries. This book is an invaluable learning resource for those wishing to understand the social and political processes that migration policies lead to, particularly in countries in the Global South.

Reviews for Time, Migration and Forced Immobility: Sub-Saharan African Migrants in Morocco

''A vibrant, in-depth and accurate account of the lived experiences of European migration control and its lasting effects on neighbouring countries.'' Federica Infantino, FNRS/Université Libre de Bruxelles ''Drawing on ethnographic research conducted over ten years this beautifully written, must-read book enables us to rethink the fundamental tools of the study of migration, migration policy and politics.'' Bridget Anderson, University of Bristol ‘’This important and insightful book unites analysis of EU externalization policies in Africa with ethnographic depth on sub-Saharan migrants’ lives in Morocco, offering fresh perspectives on ‘transit’ migration and involuntary immobility.’’ Nauja Kleist, Danish Institute for International Studies “Stock’s haunting and critical analysis of the negative consequences for migrants of hostile migration politics in Morocco is a must-read for scholars, students, and practitioners wishing to go beyond dominant and simplistic narratives about migration which routinely dehumanize those forcibly (im)mobilized.” Ethnic and Racial Studies Journal
