Fung Public Seminar Series, Falak Mujtaba | Colonial Continuity: Immigration Detention in Canada and the Human Cost Co-hosted
How has immigration detention become thinkable, and therefore administratively doable and routine, in Canada today? What are the material consequences of this normalization for migrants? In this talk, Falak Mugtaba traces immigration detention as a colonial continuity, rooted in imperial and settler-colonial regimes of containment that persist in contemporary immigration and border control as well as the forms of resistance that contest it.
