The figure of the migrant
This book offers a much-needed new political theory of an old phenomenon. The last decade alone has marked the highest number of migrations in recorded history. Constrained by environmental, economic, and political instability, scores of people are on the move. But other sorts of changes—from global tourism to undocumented labor—have led to the fact that to some extent, we are all becoming migrants. The migrant has become the political figure of our time.
Rather than viewing migration as the exception to the rule of political fixity and citizenship, Thomas Nail reinterprets the history of political power from the perspective of the movement that defines the migrant in the first place. Applying his \"kinopolitics\" to several major historical conditions (territorial, political, juridical, and economic) and figures of migration (the nomad, the barbarian, the vagabond, and the proletariat), he provides fresh tools for the analysis of contemporary migration.

Returning to revolution
An account of the concept of revolution in the work of Deleuze and Guattari. We are witnessing the return of political revolution. But this is not a return to the classical forms of revolution: the capture of the state, the political representation of the party, the centrality of the proletariat, or the leadership of the vanguard. Rather, after the failure of such tactics over the last century, revolutionary strategy is now headed in an entirely new direction. Much has been written on Deleuze and Guattari's political philosophy in the last 15 years, but Returning to Revolution is the first full-length work to-date on their central concept of revolution and its emergence alonside the most influential revolutionary movement of the 21st century: Zapatismo.• Outlines the theoretical and practical origins of the return to political revolution• Provides the first full-length account of Deleuze and Guattari's relationship to a concrete revolutionary struggle (Zapatismo)
