It traces the histories, technologies, power relations and contestations around this small but powerful artefact to establish a framework for understanding how design is always enmeshed in the political, and how politics can be understood in terms of material objects.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCombining design studies with critical border studies, alongside ethnographic work among undocumented migrants, border transgressors and passport forgers, this book shows how a world made and designed as open and hospitable to some is strictly enclosed, confined and demarcated for many others - and how those affected by such injustices dissent from the immobilities imposed on them through the same capacity of design and artifice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47031863705840,"sku":"9781474289399","price":114.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781474289399_p0.jpg?v=1769893428","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781474289399","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
