“In this Conversation, we spoke with Todd Miller, author of Empire of Borders: the expansion of the US border around the world. Miller has authored four books: Build Bridges, Not Walls: A Journey to a World Without Borders (City Lights, 2021)
Empire of Borders: The Expansion of the U.S. Border Around the World (Verso, 2019),
Storming the Wall: Climate Change, Migration, and Homeland Security (City Lights, 2017), and Border Patrol Nation: Dispatches from the Front Lines of Homeland Security (City Lights, 2014). In this conversation, Todd gives us an update on where we are on border expansion — and the colonial history of border creation and enforcement. We also talk about how borders work to maintain a neoliberal global economic system and why we need to look towards abolitionist movements and transnational solidarity to create a world without borders.”
