Through case studies from global 'hotspots' of forced migration, the authors analyse the material regimes designed to keep displaced populations at bay. They trace how the right to move and resettle is denied through transcontinental border walls, militarised zones, detention and deportation systems, restrictive laws, digital surveillance tools, and even buses that relocate 'undesirable' groups. These cuts no longer run simply between a developed North and a Global South.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAngélil and Siress also identify potential sites of resistance to the violent dynamics of separation that fracture socio-spatial fabrics. Exposing architecture’s complicity with power, the book reimagines its role as an agent against division, advocating concrete countermeasures—from a global pact against climate apartheid and inclusive refugee settlements to vital infrastructure along migration routes, legal assistance, and anti-anti-migration protests.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eRuby Press, 298pp 13cm x 23cm, illustrated paperback, 2026\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Art Data","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57729384350069,"sku":"M-AT-11472-S","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0079\/5974\/0505\/files\/AThousandCuts.jpg?v=1793894405","url":"https:\/\/store.magalleria.co.uk\/products\/a-thousand-cuts-architecture-of-displacement","provider":"Magalleria","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
