Delving into the concepts of displacement and identity, this constellation of voices and formats is a necessary and constant interrogation on issues of power, authority, and freedom in which the Aegean archipelago is just a departure point for learning to live ‘sin fronteras’, to be at a crossroads.
– Ethel Baraona Pohl, 2024

This thoughtful and sensitive account of forced movement in our present guides our attention to the ongoing exigencies of disposability, uprootedness, detention, and political loss of economized, racialized, and illegalized precarious bodies in transit across the borders of Europe. At a moment when walls and barricades are rising and becoming increasingly militarized, and contrary to the clichés of the Mediterranean as a place of tranquil navigation, this stimulating collection remains committed to the possibility of delineating a critical re-imagining of movement towards conditions that allow for safe crossing, hospitality, and equal belonging across the Aegean Sea.
– Athena Athanasiou, 2024
