[Commlist] Crossings: Journal of Migration & Culture 16.1-2 published - Special Issue on In Transit: Mapping Digital and Transnational Narratives across Tunisian Borderlands

Intellect is pleased to present Crossings: Journal of Migration & 
Culture 16.1-2!


Special Issue: ‘In Transit: Mapping Digital and Transnational Narratives 
across Tunisian Borderlands’


A double Special Issue emerging from a cross-Mediterranean scholarly 
collaboration supported by the British Academy. Focusing on Tunisia as a 
key site for examining contemporary migration, the Special Issue traces 
the country’s shifting role from a ‘palimpsest of historical crossings’ 
to a space of mobility containment under the European Union’s 
externalized border regime.
