Status Updates From Border and Rule: Global Mig...

This last chapter (3) really did a good job of showing the evidence that connects neoliberalism with the climate crisis. How extraction of labor and resources forced by "debt" and economy is causing huge land changes and displacing so many people. These climate refugees also are given zero to no rights to seek asylum and it's a bleak look at how the world is heading.

The 1st quarter reminds me of the activism folks talked about before 2001 criticizing USA's preemptive wars. Walia links those wars to border creation & control through ongoing colonialism.

The 2nd quarter discusses incarceration & detention. Migrants & refugees (which she mixes to remove racist definitions separating "good" & "bad" people) become modern slaves.

Wowwww this book is already 🔥🔥

probably mostly my fault but i think the frustrating thing about reading this is that each paragraph has enough stuff in it to be its own book but instead we get a ton of really intro walkthroughs and points that are too broad to ever really prove the point too well. idk learning a lot but definitely feels like a freshman survey class

Reads like a Wikipedia page rip
