Global Migration and Social Change Mobile Rights

Bol

Migrant activism is key in today’s world, where countries in the Global North employ border regimes to reinforce racial hierarchies, limit freedom of movement, and exploit migrant labour. But how do migrant-led movements engage with human rights - do they see them as limited tools, or as frameworks that can be reimagined in the fight for border justice? In this compelling study, Perolini critically examines the various ways migrants challenge these border regimes, and highlights the transformative potential of constructing human rights from below, moving beyond the state and legal norms. Drawing on rich ethnographic research in Berlin, the book offers a fresh and provocative perspective on the intersections of migrant activism, human rights, and racial and border justice
