Stealing Time Summary

Stealing Time: Migration, Temporalities and State Violence by Monish Bhatia

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.

Stealing Time Reviews

Stealing Time is an important and readable collection of well written chapters, well put together. Its committed combination of critical research and exemplifying activism works. (Scott Poynting, State Crime Journal, Vol. 12 (1), 2023)

This interdisciplinary volume brings together accounts of how states use time as a weapon in different ways in their efforts to fight irregular migration. ... This timely volume elucidates a number of aspects linking time management, control of people through detention practices and administrative procedures within which people on the move become trapped with systemic harm. (Yasha Maccanico, statewatch.org, November 18, 2021)
