Contending Global Apartheid by Martin Bak Jgensen

Contending Global Apartheid: Transversal Solidarities and Politics of Possibility spells out a plea for utopia in a crisis-ridden 21st century of unequal development, exclusionary citizenship, and forced migrations. The volume offers a collection of critical essays on human rights movements, sanctuary spaces, and the emplacement of antiracist conviviality in cities across North and South America, Europe, and Africa. Each intervention proceeds from the idea that cities may accommodate both a humanistic sensibility and a radical potential for social transformation. The figure of the 'migrant' is pivotal. It expounds the prospect of transversal solidarity to capture a plurality of commonalities and to abjure dichotomies between in-group and out-group, the national and the international, or society and institutions.

Martin Bak Jørgensen is Professor in Processes of Migration at DEMOS at the Department for Culture and Learning, Aalborg University, Denmark. He works within the fields of sociology, political sociology and political science.

Carl-Ulrik Schierup is Professor Emeritus at The Institute for Research on Migration, Ethnicity and Society (REMESO), Linköping University, Sweden. He has researched international migration and ethnic relations, globalization, nationalism, multiculturalism, citizenship, and labor.
