<em>âThe book is certainly an original contribution to studies of race and racialization. Through the comprehensive analysis of how crisis is entangled in political discourses, rhetoric, and affective experiences of everyday life authors convincingly illustrate what crisis does to contemporary formations of racialization, nationalisms, and national identities.â</em> <strong>⢠Anthropos</strong></p>
<p>
<em>âThis is a praiseworthy publication. Based on ethnographically rich case studies it provides several snapshots that reach deep down into the heart of the constitution of European societies. They show the diversity and complexity of issues related to identity, social inclusion and exclusion, democratic ideals, the welfare state, mobility and security, cultural fears and certainty, hegemony and legitimacy.â</em> <strong>⢠Anthropological Forum</strong></p>
<p>
<em>âThe book makes a novel contribution to scholarship on post-integration European identity politics and is crucial reading for scholars interested in crisis and crisis narratives, the anthropology of the state, migration and border politics, and everyday racisms.â</em> <strong>⢠Social Anthropology</strong></p>
<p>
<em>âAn impressive study on a very timely topic.â</em> <strong>⢠Jeremy MacClancey</strong>, Oxford Brookes University</p>
<p>
<em>âThe contribution to research-based understandings of "crisis talk", "being in a state of crisis", the growing tension between legal and moral obligations, and the intersection of economics and morality is intriguing, critical, urgent, and comes precisely at the right historical conjuncture. The volume is a welcome and thoughtful effort to disentangle what is going on.â</em> <strong>⢠Peter Hervik</strong>, Aalborg University</p>
