Beschreibung
This publication provides a historical and ethnographic
analysis about the geopolitics and biopolitics of a European
securitization process with regard to Senegalese migration
history. It examines the way a European border regime was
externalized to Senegal in light of the West African
maritime route that came to a head in 2006. Beyond a
policy-dimension, this publication analyses narratives about
migration and about Europe from the viewpoint of a
politically engaged urban youth perspective, the Senegalese
hip-hop milieu. This provides an external perception of the
European Union.
Nannette Abrahams is a political geographer
and political scientist as well as a practitioner who worked
for the German development cooperation in Uganda.
