Survival and Witness at Europe's Border: The Afterlives of a Disaster

Survival and Witness at Europe's Border is a groundbreaking book that sheds light on one of the most tragic migrant disasters in European history - the 2013 fishing boat fire off the coast of Lampedusa, Italy, where 368 people lost their lives.

Through a kaleidoscope of afterlives, the book shows how this disaster continues to shape the lives of survivors and witnesses, and how it has transformed their perspectives on survival, politics, and agency.

With empathy and passion, Horsti underscores the importance of understanding the intersection of past and future in the present, and how the process of survival can envision a way forward from an unsustainable present.

This book is not just a historical account, but a call to action for readers to engage with the memory and politics of this disaster, and to rethink the structures and processes that produce border deaths.
