The state takes multiple guises to regulate migration and bodies

Evidence

The multiple faces of the state serve to rule and regulate populations and bodies cast as dangerous and threatening through moral, political, social, and historical subjection. Hence, the racial state, the national security state, the war state, the imperial state, and the postcolonial state represent the uneven application of power by the institution of the state to o≈cially regulate informal sectors of the global economy, such as economic, social, and political migration. — Junaid Rana, Terrifying Muslims, 238
