"Within the magnitude of academic work on asylum seekers and African migrants in Europe, Undoing Nothing is an exceptional book. Not only is it beautifully written and meticulously researched, it provides us with an analytical approach that manages to capture the ambivalent being and presence that characterize the circumstances of many migrants within the EU. The book thus moves us away from dramatic and sensational descriptions of refugee predicaments and toward a detailed and perceptive analysis of the ways people navigate and manage their lives in the interstices between being stuck and in motion, surviving and aspiring. An essential read for anyone working on everyday spaces of marginality."--Henrik Vigh, Professor of Anthropology, University of Copenhagen
