We're seeing a world where borders really start very far away from the intended destinations, but at the behest of these former colonizers, these imperial entities, these people with a lot of money—who have that money because they impoverish the people who are coming to ask for refuge, to ask for reprieve at their borders.
Heba Gowayed discusses her In These Times article, "Borders and the Exchange of Humans for Debt: Borders and debt are new instruments of violence in a system that has had many names." Heba is an Associate Professor of Sociology at CUNY Hunter College. She is author of, Refuge: How the State Shapes Human Potential.
"The Moment of Truth" with Jeff Dorchen follows the interview.
