Abstract

This chapter examines how the EU’s and Schengen countries’ security measures and related bordering practices are experienced by sub-Saharan African refugees, migrants, and returnees in various stages of the displacement, on state borders as well as before and after crossing them. Drawing on research material gathered through multi-sited fieldwork in Kenya, Ethiopia, Cyprus, Italy, and Finland, the chapter elaborates how European securitizing response to migration does not stop migratory movements, but rather causes insecurity and suffering to migrants and leads to the EU compromising its self-proclaimed values.
