Across Europe and North America, far-right parties have strategically framed immigration as a threat to national identity and security, capitalising on public anxieties around cultural change and economic pressure.

Part of the groundbreaking ethnoGRAPHIC series, Crossing Lines is a graphic anthology about human migration that challenges the rise of anti-immigrant populism. Research shows that it is difficult to counter these 'us-versus-them' narratives with evidence alone. Blending visual and textual storytelling, this collection moves beyond traditional forms of communication to engage readers emotionally with the complex realities of migration.

Emerging out of a workshop held at the University of British Columbia's Centre for Migration Studies in 2022, this graphic anthology features eight powerful narratives, collaboratively created by migration scholars and comics artists. Crossing Lines considers the personal and social impacts of migration, offering nuanced perspectives accessible to a wide audience. Each comic is paired with discussion questions and annotated further readings to encourage dialogue and understanding in the face of polarising public discourse.

Crossing Lines is a timely and indispensable resource for scholars, educators, and readers seeking to better understand migration in today's globalised world.
