Freedom, however, is in the realm of possiblia (I gladly adopt this term) and thus in the realm of the not-yet-thinkable and of practice. It is good that Bauder does not go too far here. The result is a truly good book on open borders and contingent possibilities. It would be great if many activists and students, but also municipal dignitaries and politicians, would read it. An inspiration for upcoming tasks. - Forschungsgesellschaft Flucht & Migration Online, November 2016 [t]he book deserves praise for managing, in little more than a hundred pages, not only to introduce the open borders option but also to tackle the different arguments for and against the option, and to clearly locate open borders between utopia and what is a possibility for tomorrow or the future. - Djordje Sredanovic, Wiley, Migrations Asylum Multiculturalism/Group for Research on Ethnic Relations, Migration & Equality/Universite Libre de Bruxelles, Brussels, Belgium, December, 2016 Bauder intelligibly takes full advantage of the three concepts of migration, borders and freedom to discuss many conceivable possibilities and contradictions that counter walls, borders, lines, and divides.Bauder introduces relevant and provocative policy measures on migrant rights to work and stay, by referring to restrictions imposed to citizenship, territoriality, and the nation-state. - Sutapa Chattopadhyay, Interface, Vol 9, Nov/Dec 2017 Although relatively short, Migration Borders Freedomtraversespresent challenges, future possibilities, philosophical reflections, and political implications with both great clarity and substantial sophistication. The text is both aspirational and careful in its consideration of the consequences of challenging borders. Bauder (p. 7) insists that human beings possess the freedom of migration and they should be able to exercise this freedom, but he also recognizes that we need to be careful what we wish for and, in particular, be wary of the very palpable risks of a world without borders. It is, as a result, an excellent text for geographers seeking to reflect on the present challenge of borders and migration and for those who want to imagine the possibilities of a different world. - Francis L. Collins, The Canadian Geographer, University of Auckland
