      abstract = {This outstanding volume takes our understanding of state  crime and the undocumented migration process in an  important new direction. By employing the concept of  temporality, Monish Bhatia and Vicky Canning have brought  together an innovative group of scholars who, collectively,  weaponise what they call migrant time. Through this lens of  temporality each of the chapters offers powerful new  insights into the states repertoire of violence against  asylum seekers and refugees while simultaneously bringing  to the fore the resistance that this hidden form of  repression engenders in those subject to its harms. Prof.  Penny Green, Queen Mary University In this remarkable  volume, we see vividly how time itself is an object and  target of power, and rather than a natural fact, is  produced through governance. By taking migration as their  central framework of analysis, the contributors to this  book provide a profound and memorable critical  investigation of state power and the subtle violence of  bureaucracy. This book is a landmark event in consolidating  the incipient field of critical studies of temporality, and  in situating human mobility and borders at the heart of  understanding the place of time in social domination. Prof.  Nicholas De Genova, University of Houston Monish Bhatia is  lecturer in Criminology at Birkbeck, University of London  Victoria Canning is senior lecturer in Criminology at the  University of Bristol This book draws together empirical  contributions which focus on conceptualising the lived  realities of time and temporality in migrant lives and  journeys. This book uncovers the ways in which human  existence is often overshadowed by legislative  interpretations of legal and illegalised. It unearths the  consequences of uncertainty and unknowing for people whose  futures often lay in the hands of states, smugglers,  traffickers and employers that pay little attention to the  significance of individuals time and thus, by default,  their very human existence. Overall, the collection draws  perspectives from several disciplines and locations to  advance knowledge on how temporal exclusion relates to  social and personal processes of exclusion. It begins by  conceptualising what we understand by time and looks at how  temporality and lived realities of time combine for people  during and after processes of migration. As the book  develops, focus is trained on temporality and survival  during encampment, border transgression, everyday borders  and hostility, detention, deportation and the temporal  impacts of border deaths. This book both conceptualises and  realises the lived experiences of time with regard to those  who are afforded minimal autonomy over their own time:  people living in and between borders.},
