The hardening of the border through new security practices is the source of the violence, not a response to it.

Introduction

According to The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees – or the UNHCR – 82.4 million people worldwide were forcibly displaced at the end of 2020.

Having fled from war, persecution, conflict, and human rights violations, thousands of refugees are dying in an attempt to cross international borders.

There are more borders in the world today than there were after World War II and after the fall of the Berlin Wall.

Reece Jones is an author, professor of geography at the University of Hawaii, and the editor-in-chief of the journal Geopolitics.

In Violent Borders, Jones looks at the different migrant routes of the world, documenting the resources and violence that go into securing border barriers.
