| Abstract |
This chapter first considers how cities in the North function as stabilized locations in which movements from the South are framed through the language of integration and acculturation. It then constructs an alternative understanding of the North–South relation by exploring specific narratives which disorient the discursive stabilization of migration: the case of the asylum-seeker Mauro, caught between the Dutch state and the sub-national location of the provincial town; and Margaret Mazzantini’s novel of migration between Libya and Italy, Morning Sea (2011).
