With Leah Cowan in conversation with Kelsey Mohamed.
Borders are more than geographical lines – they impact all our lives, whether it's the inhumanity of deportations, or a rise in racist attacks in the wake of the EU referendum. Border Nation shows how oppressive borders must be resisted.
Activist and author Leah Cowan joins us at this Housmans online event to explore the themes of Border Nation, her new publication for Pluto Press's Outspoken series. Leah will be in conversation with Kelsey Mohamed from Cradle Community.
They will discuss the multiple issues around migration, exploring its colonial origins and laying bare the web of media myths that vilify migrants. They will also delve into the murky waters of corporate profiteering from borders by companies like G4S and the ramping up of everyday borders through legislation.
