Migration crisis or crisis of hospitality? The often tragic reality of forced migration and involuntary displacement is bringing to light in Europe borders that are not merely on the periphery of its political and territorial structure. Borders travel with those who have confronted and crossed them to live among us—if not quite with us yet. Embedded in the personal histories of these men and women, they are also the less visible borders built into public policies. It is these borders of proximity—both visible and invisible—in hospitality and in the politics of welcoming that Yves Pascouau and Estelle D’Halluin invite us to examine.
