“At once sharp and dialectical, theoretically sophisticated and crystal-clear, Chowdhury's book addresses an issue of great relevance to current historical developments and questions of social justice. It should appeal not just to academics but also to many others trying to understand one of the most critical issues of our time.” (Barbara Foley, Emerita Distinguished Professor of English, Rutgers University-Newark, USA)

“Chowdhury’s finest book to date, Border Rules masterfully analyzes “the border” as a social relation situated within the uneven histories of capital accumulation, surplus populations, imperial violence, and the disciplinary capacities of the nation state. Acutely attentive to contradictions and abolitionist openings, the book is essential reading for anyone interested in contemporary border struggles.” (Bret Benjamin, SUNY, Albany, USA)
