“…The import of previous colonial rationales and practices used to secure racial order in the colonies can be seen as part of Europe's attempts to reinforce colour lines at a time in which the increasing migration from the Global South has been ideologically constructed as a (racial) crisis that purportedly threatens the dominance of whiteness. 125 The redeployment of dogs at Europe's borders as weapons to secure racial order by threatening, punishing, and expelling racialised migrants allows us to reassess this policy as another iteration of what I have called here 'the politics of edibility' . The continual exposure of the migrant to the dog bite -or the threat thereof -in other words operates as a radical form of border violence that systematically constructs the migrant as an 'edible body' , that is, an animalistic and less-thanhuman body that is fit for 'animal consumption' .…”

Europe’s (post-)colonial borders have been recently marked by a profusion of cases of violence against racialised migrants with the use of police dogs, following a continual process of integration of canines into the border apparatus of violence. Engaging simultaneously with the recent post-colonial literature on border and migration security and the incipient domain of animal studies, this article investigates the colonial and racial origins and effects of this phenomenon. Contextualising the weaponisation of dogs at Europe’s borders today within a much longer history of racial violence, the article shows how canines have been systematically deployed by colonial and white supremacist powers against racialised bodies as tools to enact and secure racial order. Attentive to the ways in which modern humanness has been predicated upon its removal from the food chain, the article argues that the use of police dogs at Europe’s borders operates by reinforcing the non- or less-than-human status of racialised migrants by marking them as ‘animal-like’ and ‘edible’ bodies. Conceptualising this method as ‘the politics of edibility’, the article then shows how the exposure of migrants to the threat of ‘dog bites’ functions as a form of reinforcing racial hierarchies in a Europe traversed by racial anxieties.

“…A common approach to examining this relationship holds that the police and prisons serve a functional role within a capitalist mode of production, managing and containing those patterns of racial and class antagonism that capitalism simultaneously requires and exacerbates (Golash-Boza 2015;Harring 1983;Linebaugh 2015;Russell 2002;Schwendinger et al 2013;Seigel 2018;Vitale 2017).

Unravelling the “Thin Blue Line”: Policing as an Engine of Inequality

This paper argues that policing be understood as a creative social force that reproduces important dimensions of earlier iterations of the colour line. The paper advances this argument by integrating findings from two distinct research projects: the first on the household financial losses that follow arrest by immigration officials in Tucson, AZ; and the second focusing on the everyday costs of policing and carceral supervision absorbed by residents of Philadelphia, PA. Together, data from these sites illuminate how exposure to policing exhausts emotional and material resources from expansive family and community networks of care and support. To theorise the connection between financial dispossession and the dispossession of future opportunity, we draw on a heuristic reading of the “thin blue line” symbol. We conclude by suggesting a need for closer attention to how contemporary state interventions drive patterns of dispossession and vulnerability that accumulate across various scales, sites, rhythms, and collectivities.

The purpose of research is to know the cultural ethnic cohesiveness in the conformity of local wisdom, a study of social construction and management of intercultural communication among Chinese citizens in Bogor Regency. By using qualitative descriptive method and analysis, the several findings were obtained. First, in the Chinese Village of Inkopad-Inkopol, West Bogor, the cultural cohesiveness has been initiated since the colonial era, through a family approach. The conformity of local wisdom is shown by the involvement of ethnic Chinese in "abangan" Islamic worship. Second, in the Chinese Community Housing Cinere Depok, the cohesiveness is more visible on the socio-economic side. When the Chinese community shows their simplicity of living in a rural village, there is an interaction of closeness and togetherness. There is a kind of inclusiveness. The local cultural conformity is shown through the mixed of Chinese citizens in supporting social and cultural activities. Third, at the Wihara Amurwa Bhumi Cibinong, Chinese Ethnic Communication Forum, the Chinese are more dominant in showing their organizational character and ancestral culture that they continue to fight for. The cultural cohesiveness occured precisely in an exclusivity strategy. As a result, the exclusivity gave birth to uniqueness, which turned out to be a kind of tourist attraction for the surrounding community. This area is actually very well known for its ethnic performances.
