The Crisis-Mobility Nexus

This academic text explores the complex relationship between global crises, such as economic downturns, the COVID-19 pandemic, and geopolitical conflicts, and human mobility, including migration and immobility. It examines how these crises reshape mobility regimes, influencing who can move and where, often along lines of class, race, and nationality. The document also investigates the concept of deportability as a tool of control within migration policies and discusses the potential for solidarity and resistance, particularly in the context of urban initiatives and migrant worker struggles.
