De l’autre côté de la frontière : une anthropologie du retour forcé des étrangers. Recension de Khosravi Shahram (éd.), After Deportation: Ethnographic Perspectives, Basingstoke, Palgrave MacMillan, 2018

Is deportation the end of the migration story? How do you tell your own story when you've been torn from your journey by a sudden administrative decision? After Deportation: Ethnographic Perspectives offers some answers to these questions: the introduction by Shahram Khosravi and the conclusion by Nicholas de Genova, as well as the eleven ethnographic surveys that make up the collection, are all new narratives, or even counter-narratives, of migration. They describe the post-deportation trajectories of various groups of interviewees from countries in the global North (mainly the UK and USA) to countries in the South: Cape Verde, Jamaica, Afghanistan, Nigeria, Dominican Republic, Togo, Mali, Samoa, Cameroon, Sri Lanka, etc. The contexts of return vary from small-scale to large-scale, from small, close-knit island communities (Samoa), unstable border zones and humanitarian camps (Afghanistan) or large West African metropolises (Benin City, Nigeria).
