Paperback. Condition: Fair. This book explores the unintended consequences of compassion in the world of immigration politics. Miriam Ticktin focuses on France and its humanitarian immigration practices to argue that a politics based on care and protection can lead the state to view issues of immigration and asylum through a medical lens. Examining two 'regimes of care' - humanitarianism and the movement to stop violence against women - Ticktin asks what it means to permit the sick and sexually violated to cross borders while the impoverished cannot? She demonstrates how in an inhospitable immigration climate, unusual pathologies can become the means to residency papers, making conditions like HIV, cancer, and select experiences of sexual violence into distinct advantages for would-be migrants. Ticktin's analysis also indicts the inequalities forged by global capitalism that drive people to migrate, and the state practices that criminalize the majority of undocumented migrants at the expense of care for the exceptional few.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A provocative critique of how the concept of innocence functions in contemporary politics and society. In 2025, we are arguably more attentive to different kinds of harm than ever before in human history. Recognizing injustices of all kinds, especially historically overlooked ones, is an undeniable achievement. But as Miriam Ticktin reminds us in this timely and bold book, designating certain groups as "innocent," or otherwise in need, often comes with its own problems. In Against Innocence, Ticktin shows how innocence structures political relationships, designating some as victims and others as "saviors" who, conveniently, claim innocence themselves, absolving themselves of responsibility and foreclose the achievement of a more genuine, lasting form of justice. Ultimately, Ticktin wants to understand how the discourse around innocence functions, what gives it such power, and why we are so compelled by it. She examines this process across various domains, including migration, reproductive rights, racial justice, medicine, environmentalism, and more. Throughout the book, she shows how the concept of innocence intimately shapes why and how we should care, for whom, and whose lives matterand how this can have devastating consequences, when only an exceptional few can qualify as innocent. A politics grounded on innocence justifies a world built on inequality, designating most peopleespecially the racialized pooras unworthy, undeserving, and less than human. As an alternative, she explores the aesthetics and politics of "commoning"a collective regime of living that refuses a liberal politics of individual identity and victimhood.
