Sarai Reader 07:
Frontiers

Sarai Reader 07 argues that borders—political, conceptual, technical—are both passages and barriers.

This volume examines how frontiers shape identities, rights, flows, and exclusions. It explores the tension between mobility and control, tracking how technologies of surveillance, documentation, and registration dictate who can pass and who remains invisible. It also reflects on the emotional weight of borders: suspicion, anticipation, refusal, and hope.
