Contrasting observations of the ongoing world cup with the Book of Shame, the article tells two different stories made possible through a similar process of coerced movement. The contradiction of European states that benefit from

Borders, Labour and the African Migrant: Reclaiming Human Mobility in a Violently Unequal World
The conditions of migrants, produced by the unequal development and structural inequality of contemporary capitalism, should not be met with criminalization and securitization. Understanding migration through Marxist political economy
and decolonial frameworks, not only allows us to understand mobility as rational human right, but it also allows us to harness the benefits of migration, in congruence with Pan African solidarity.
