In Resident Foreigners, Donatella Di Cesare confronts the overwhelming fact of contemporary global migration – namely, that there are tens of millions of persons in flight for whom there are no obvious destinations of refuge, protocols of protection and assistance, or trust in the international community of asylum states and the organizations tasked to facilitate their movements. Di Cesare laments the fact that debates over the claims, interests, and movements of the masses of informal migrants in the world center largely on issues of their governance, the possibility of their integration, and proper categorization, as opposed to their rights, freedoms, and interests. In an attempt to reverse this excluding discourse, she seeks a re–consideration of migrants from the perspective of migration itself, declaring her study to be the first to outline a philosophy of migration, attempting to speculate on the dynamic positions of moving and arrival, rather than viewing only from perspectives of those on whom migrants may be seen to impose.
