Individuals exist at the intersection of movement and attachment – across spaces, temporalities, relationships – that give meaning and orientation to their lives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHowever, as Ibnelkaïd demonstrates, this nexus is disrupted by the omnicolonial matrix, which operates materially and ontologically to inhibit empathy, weaponize emotions, and alienate intersubjectivity. Exploring the case of high-skilled racialized migrants in Finland – regularly ranked the “happiest country in the world” – the author analyzes how migration regimes in Fortress Europe enact racialized geographies and commodify life itself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo explore these dynamics, Ibnelkaïd introduces Critical Phenomenology of Interaction – a novel framework for examining how digital-algorithmic and capitalist-imperialist structures shape our being-in-the-colonial-world. Ibnelkaïd shows how micro-coloniality is both (re)produced in everyday social interactions and resisted through collective emotional, sensory and epistemic intelligence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWritten from the perspective of an Indigenous Amazigh migrant woman and scholar, this work is a global call for liberation. Liberation from colonialism, imperialism, capitalism. Liberation of the minds, the borders, the peoples.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSamira Ibnelkaïd\u003c\/b\u003e is an Affiliate Researcher at the University of Oulu, Finland, at Radboud University, the Netherlands, and at ICAR Laboratory, France.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e03 September 2026\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781666941128\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e408\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51331920134284,"sku":"9781666941128","price":117.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/getimage_927970c3-0e54-413b-96fa-7374459a663e.jpg?v=1783600179","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781666941128","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
