The Design Politics of the Passport: Materiality, Immobility, and DissentThe Design Politics of the Passport presents an innovative study of the passport and its associated social, political and material practices as a means of uncovering the workings of 'design politics'. It traces the histories, technologies, power relations and contestations around this small but powerful artefact to establish a framework for understanding how design is always enmeshed in the political, and how politics can be understood in terms of

The Design Politics of the Passport presents an innovative study of the passport and its associated social, political and material practices as a means of uncovering the workings of 'design politics'. It traces the histories, technologies, power relations and contestations around this small but powerful artefact to establish a framework for understanding how design is always enmeshed in the political, and how politics can be understood in terms of material objects.

Combining design studies with critical border studies, alongside ethnographic work among undocumented migrants, border transgressors and passport forgers, this book shows how a world made and designed as open and hospitable to some is strictly enclosed, confined and demarcated for many others - and how those affected by such injustices dissent from the immobilities imposed on them through the same capacity of design and artifice.

Outstanding quality
Size: 11, Color: Black Faux Leather, Size: 11, Color: Black Faux Leather
The loafers are very comfortable with the puffy insole, very nice quality, and overall a very good shoe. I suggest a half a size up because they are kinda narrow.

comfortable and nice-looking loafer. i wear 10.5 and ordered 10 and they fit fine. haven't worn them much yet so i can't say how they'll hold up but seem pretty nice for the price.

Great Bang for Buck! SIZE DOWN!
Size: 11, Color: Tan Faux Leather
The Quality of these shoes are great! They feel good, are a deep brown color, the stitching is good, all in all great shoes. They are comfortable to walk around in making them a versatile choice for any occasion. My only issue was sizing. As everybody says these shoes run big, I am usually a 10.5/11. I went with the 11s and they are slipping off my heels. Size Down!

Overall very good
Size: 9, Color: Black Faux Leather
I liked these loafers very much. The sizing was true, and on point. Fit was comfortable, and the sole’s height wasn’t too exaggerated. Overall very satisfied given the price, however I do wish they looked a bit more luxe,
