Shifting the Perspective
This article argues that in a world where the ecological and material consequences of climate changes are becoming increasingly tangible, mobilisation and reproduction of the dominant categories of economic migration and political asylum become problematic. While the “reflexive turn” in migration studies called for a critical assessment of the use of state-determined migration categories in migration research, the ways in which political ecology …

Le genre dans l’étude des frontières
Cette contribution propose une approche intersectionnelle des frontières en examinant comment les dynamiques de genre, de classe et de race, notamment, modifient la manière dont les individus franchissent les frontières internationales, et comment les frontières internes (sociales, administratives, symboliques), bien qu’immatérielles, affectent les expériences des personnes migrantes. Cet article s’appuie sur les recherches présentées dans le liv…
From shared experiences of gendered racism to converging interpretations? Exploring the formation of a decolonial standpoint by women of Moroccan descent in postcolonial France
This article invites a dialogue between decolonial perspectives on diasporas and feminist standpoint theories by exploring processes of standpoint formation by women of Moroccan descent who grew up in postcolonial France. The article draws on 18 interviews with women aged in their 20s to their 40s, as well as a long-term engagement with these questions through ‘patchwork ethnography’. While emphasising that these women were neither exposed to ide…
The Racialized Sexism of Migration and Asylum Regimes Pregnancy, Migration, and Borders in France
The gendered implications of migration and asylum regimes require further attention in an era of border militarization and increasingly hostile environments, especially across the Global North, a region in which many countries pride themselves on standing for gender equality, whereas they in fact perpetuate gendered forms of discrimination and violence against irregularized migrant women. This article examines the experiences in France of pregnan…

Externalized Within, Everyday Bordering Processes Affecting Undocumented Moroccans in the Borderlands of Ceuta and Melilla, Spain
This article proposes the notion of ‘externalized within’ to trace the implications of Ceuta and Melilla becoming frontlines of Fortress Europe in the context of entrenched postcolonial hierarchies. While building on previous contributions around ‘internal externalization’, this article goes beyond the policy analogy that led to the coining of this phrase in order to focus on the social implications of this phenomenon in terms of everyday borderi…
The Gendered Necropolitics of Migration Control in a French Postcolonial Periphery
This article examines the postcolonial politics of migration control in Mayotte, an overseas French department, and argues that these bear necropolitical consequences. It sheds light on the gendered dimension of this necropolitical power by focusing on the life and border-crossing experiences of undocumented Comorian women. Entrenched barriers to the regularization of their administrative status endanger their access to healthcare and degrade the…

Humanitarian bureaucratic arrangements supporting a necropolitical government of non-citizens
En s’appuyant sur deux études de cas menées à deux frontières européennes, celle de l’enclave espagnole de Ceuta d’une part, et celle du département français de Mayotte d’autre part, cet article propose une réflexion autour de l’imbrication du contrôle migratoire et des soins prodigués aux non-citoyens. À partir de l’étude des dispositifs concernant les femmes enceintes ainsi que de leurs expériences, l’article éclaire la dimension nécropolitique…
Asylum, Racism, and the Structural Production of Sexual Violence against Racialised Women in Exile in Paris
The recent arrival of refugees from Ukraine has thrown into sharp focus the racialised colonial underpinnings of the French asylum and refugee system, as the open-door welcome afforded to Ukrainians, supposedly "closer" to the French population, highlights the rejection and marginalisation of "others" who seek refuge in the country. The current situation lays bare not only the "double standards" applied to refugees depending on their country of o…
Exclusion, Minimization, Inaction
This critical review of Ireland's policy response to gender-based violence as it affects migrant women contributes to recent literature that focuses on how states' legal and policy regimes can be part of the problem, in this case adding to rather than reducing GBV related vulnerabilities experienced by migrant women. Through a review of key policy, law and NGO documents, the report foregrounds the significance of context-specific framing and inte…
Tracing Colonial Maternalism Within the Gendered Morals of Humanitarianism
By bringing together two sets of qualitative fieldwork conducted in 2016 and 2017 with humanitarian organizations and migrant women on the two sides of the Eastern Moroccan-Spanish border, this article examines the ways in which women humanitarians exercise power over women’s lives, bodies and mobility. Though humanitarianism in the border context has been researched at European and United States-Mexico borders, the specifically gendered implicat…
Constructions of Undeservingness around the Figure of the Undocumented Pregnant Woman in the French Department of Mayotte
This article examines how Comorian pregnant women in Mayotte, a French overseas department in the Indian Ocean, came to embody an unwanted presence as irregular migrants due to their children’s and their own potential claims to belonging, while they are entitled by law to access perinatal and maternal care. This article argues that framing undocumented pregnant women as a threat led to significant shortcomings in perinatal care delivery and that …

Conceptualising the Role of Deservingness in Migrants’ Access to Social Services
This ‘state-of-the art’ article on the role of deservingness in governing migrants’ access to social services situates our themed section’s contribution to the literature at the intersection between the study of street-level bureaucracy and practices of internal bordering through social policy. Considering the increasing relevance of migration control post-entry, we review the considerations that guide the local delivery of social services. Among…
Midwives and Humanitarian Bureaucracy
Drawing on Foucauldian biopolitics, Max Weber's and Hannah Arendt's understandings of bureaucracy, and Achille Mbembe's theoretical insights into necropolitical power, I propose the notion of humanitarian bureaucracy to account for the involvement of medical personnel in the summary deportations of pregnant Comorian women in Mayotte, a French overseas department in the Indian Ocean. In addition to their usual consultations, hospital midwives are …
Mayotte, l’éloignement des femmes enceintes
Mayotte occupe une place singulière dans le régime français des éloignements puisque le nombre de personnes placées en rétention administrative sur l’île est sans commune mesure avec le contexte métropolitain. Les femmes enceintes sont, elles aussi, interpellées et reconduites aux Comores dans les heures qui suivent l’arrestation. Celles arrêtées en mer sont généralement accompagnées par la police aux frontières au service de maternité pour une c…
Le « nécropouvoir » dans le contrôle migratoire et ses implications genrées dans les périphéries postcoloniales françaises de l’Océan Indien
Cet article analyse la gestion migratoire à Mayotte à l’aune du concept de « nécropolitique » inspiré des écrits d’Achille Mbembe. Cette notion permet de rendre compte de l’exercice d’un pouvoir en périphérie postcoloniale qui expose les non-citoyens à de multiples violences. Dans un premier temps est mis en lumière le caractère systématique de pratiques dérogatoires telles que les arrestations expéditives et l’éloignement d’enfants sur la base d…
Gendering the care/control nexus of the humanitarian border
Building upon and contributing to a feminist geography of borders, the chosen methodological approach examines women’s bodily experiences at a Southern EUropean border, the Spanish enclave of Melilla. Drawing on three months of ethnographic fieldwork, this article scrutinises the care interactions unfolding in a Centre for Immigrants between medical humanitarians and women residing there in their position as both migrants and patients. The analys…
Challenges to medical ethics in the context of detention and deportation
Owing to a growing policing of borders, healthcare professionals become increasingly involved in the biopolitical management of migrants' mobility. While their presence on sites of migration control and detention is necessary to ensure migrants' access to healthcare, their role risks being instrumentalized to ensure the sustainability of detention and swiftness of deportations. This article analyses the practice and ethics of midwives' medical ex…

Shifting vulnerabilities
The reproductive care of pregnant migrants entering the European Union via its Mediterranean borders represents an under-examined topic, despite a growing scholarly emphasis on female migrants and the gendered aspects of migration in the past three decades. This article uses ethnographic data gathered in Greece, Italy, and Spain to examine pregnant migrants' experiences of crossing, first reception, and reproductive care. We discuss our findings …

Temporalities of emergency
In Greece, Italy, and Spain, austerity policies combined with the structural density of migration flows have had concrete social and material manifestations in the delivery of public health care. Through our ethnographic case studies in Lampedusa and southeastern Sicily, Melilla, and Athens, we examine the maternity care offered to migrant patients in the midst and the aftermath of the so-called "migration crisis" in state and non-state structure…

Prekarność ciała i umysłu w pracy opiekuńczej – feministyczna analiza prekarnego zatrudnienia oraz pracy reprodukcyjnej migrantek
This article examines how the contributions of feminist moral philosophy and the ethic of care can advance an understanding of precarious work through an empirical analysis of migrant and minority ethnic workers’ experiences in private older-age care. This article analyses care workers’ bodily and emotional labour and provides insights into processes of work intensification. The ‘epistemic privilege’ of migrant and minority ethnic care workers’ v…
Merckaert Alain (dir.), Des femmes plurielles
L’ouvrage d’Alain Merckaert intitulé Des Femmes Plurielles est lui-même pluriel dans sa forme et dans son contenu. Y sont dressés les portraits de douze femmes venues de pays aussi différents que la Géorgie, le Gabon ou Haïti, pour ne citer que ceux-là, afin de s’installer dans le Nord de la France. Au travers de ces portraits se dessinent des trajectoires qui partagent un point commun, celui d’une vie citoyenne faite d’engagements dans le tissu …
Gender, Work and Migration
While the feminisation of transnational migrant labour is now a firmly ingrained feature of the contemporary global economy, the specific experiences and understandings of labour in a range of gendered sectors of global and regional labour markets still require comparative and ethnographic attention. This book adopts a particular focus on migrants employed in sectors of the economy that are typically regarded as marginal or precarious – domestic …
