Politics of Exhaustion

This book exposes the strategies that make migrants' lives unliveable and explores their resistance to this violence. Drawing on years of research across Europe, the author captures the lived reality of asylum seekers, refugees, and other marginalised migrants, including their struggles with constant evictions, detention, push-backs, deportations, and violence.

Blending feminist, intersectional, and decolonial perspectives, Politics of Exhaustion reframes exhaustion as both a tool of governance and a site of struggle. By amplifying neglected voices and envisioning politics grounded in solidarity, care, and friendship, this is a powerful call to rethink how movement, borders, and resistance are understood.
