Author/Contributor(s): Papadopoulos, Dimitris; Stephenson, Niamh; Tsianos, Vassilis Publisher: Pluto Press Date: 7/20/2008 Binding: Paperback Condition: NEW Illegal migrants who ev ade detection, creators of value in insecure and precarious working conditions and those who refuse the constraints of sexual and biomedical classifications: these are the people who manage to subvert power and to craft unexpected sociabilities and experiences. Escape Routes shows how people can escape control and create social change by becoming imperceptible to the political system of Global North Atlantic societies. 'A profound and brilliant examination of the power of exodus to create radical interventions in perhaps the three most important and contested fields of society today: life, migration and precarious labour. It is in these fields that the present and future of multitude is at stake. Escape Routes is a toolbox in the hands of multitude.' Antonio Negri, author of Insurgencies and co-author of Empire and Multitude Show more
