Horrible Harry and the hallway bully
\"Nearly every kid in Room 3B is trying to get picked for the South School Safety Patrol Squad--especially Harry. Harry wants a star badge just like his grandpa's, so he works extra hard to be the perfect student: hanging up his jacket neatly, organizing the crayons in rainbow order, and--his favorite part--cleaning up sticky noodles off the floor after lunch. But Doug thinks someone is taking the power of Safety Patrol too far, maybe even using it to cheat at the Spring Book Fair Raffle! This is Harry's chance to stop the horrible bully and prove that he deserves a special star. Can he do it?\"--Back cover.

We are making it on ourselves“ – Infrastrukturen der (Im)Mobilität in Bosnien und Herzegowina
Due to tightened controls at the Croatian border and pushbacks by border guards, ‚people on the move‘ are forced to stay in Bosnia and Herzegovina for a longer time. This article explores the infrastructures that refugees and other migrants use and maintain in canton Una-Sana and how they shape their movements and everyday lives. These ‚infrastructures of (im)mobility‘ fulfil a dual function: they structure mobility locally, along the Balkan route and across the EU's external border and enable life in (forced) immobility in the border space. To better understand these infrastructures, their physical, social and digital dimensions, and their patterns of (re)production need to be scrutinized. Building on central arguments of the mobility paradigm and critical migration studies, we argue that the (re)production and (re)configuration of infrastructures of (im)mobility is largely driven by highly unequal global mobility regimes and restrictive bordering practices, but that they can also become sites of autonomy and resistance against social marginalization, spatial exclusion and enforced immobilization.

Border Policing
An extensive history examining how North American nations have tried (and often failed) to police their borders, Border Policing presents diverse scholarly perspectives on attempts to regulate people and goods at borders, as well as on the ways that individuals and communities have navigated, contested, and evaded such regulation. The contributors explore these power dynamics though a series of case studies on subjects ranging from competing allegiances at the northeastern border during the War of 1812 to struggles over Indian sovereignty and from the effects of the Mexican Revolution to the experiences of smugglers along the Rio Grande during Prohibition. Later chapters stretch into the twenty-first century and consider immigration enforcement, drug trafficking, and representations of border policing in reality television. Together, the contributors explore the powerful ways in which federal authorities impose political agendas on borderlands and how local border residents and regions interact with, and push back against, such agendas. With its rich mix of political, legal, social, and cultural history, this collection provides new insights into the distinct realities that have shaped the international borders of North America.
