The organization of human smuggling from Syria, the Middle East and Africa through Turkey and the Eastern Mediterranean has garnered lots of media attention in recent times and has become a contemporary political problem for Europe. This book provides a rich and relational analysis of the situation, drawing on original research and empirical detail.

Building on unique original data, in-depth participant observation and interviews with migrants from Somalia, Sudan and South Sudan, Eritrea, Nigeria, and Senegal, this book draws on perspectives from sociology, anthropology, geography, criminology, and political science and offers a unique contribution to the growing literature on crime and migration. It adds nuance and historical depth to a topic which is often presented as a ‘threat’ without critical attention to the ways in which human smuggling has been produced and constructed as a relational category of social inquiry.
