''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
