"Nahaboo and Kerrigan make a timely intervention into discussions of the 'European Question' and our understanding of race, space, bordering and refugeehood in the context of the Calais Jungle. This important work will be of interest to scholars and students thinking through questions of migration via an interdisciplinary lens as they bring together theories and experiences of Geography, History, Sociology, Politics and IR in this important and fascinating new work."
-Gemma Bird, Senior Lecturer in Politics and International Relations, University of Liverpool, UK"Nahaboo and Kerrigan's rich analysis of the 'Calais Jungle' as a site of racialised exceptionality, contested rights and love provides fascinating insights into the ever-thorny 'European Question.'"

This book examines how the Calais Jungle posed and addressed the European Question. The issue of who and what counts as European was articulated through this makeshift camp. The book argues that the Jungle acquired meaning as a localised struggle to defineterritory, borders, rights and refugees in Europe. Henri Lefebvre's spatial triad is used as a framing device for analysis. Discourses of tropicality are shown to produce the Jungle in terms of a postcolonial space of exception. This representational space fused bodies and environment in racialised ways. Attention is then drawn to assemblages that gave rise to political subjectivity, which partially elided a Eurocentric prism of rights. Here, the book explores how a 'right to the jungle' was generated via relations between refugees, aid workers and material objects-constituting the Jungle as a space of representation. Finally, intimate life in, and beyond, the Jungle is examined as a spatial practice that contests the EU border regime.
