Through a polyphonic narrative following smugglers, migrants, teachers and politicians, it reveals how everyday practices and symbolic performances shape life in the enclave. Selective visibility  who is seen or erased  structures authority and exclusion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSituating Melilla within broader processes like Spain's colonial history and Europe's border restructuring, the book argues that its fragmented sovereignties and external dependencies make it a paradigmatic site for grasping Europe's precarious margins. It calls for an ethnographic lens attuned to dislocation as both lived experience and analytic tool.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47920567091358,"sku":"ING-9781526190635","price":194.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781526190635.jpg?v=1782824182","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781526190635","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
