Undocumented: The Architecture of Migrant Detention (Special Edition)

First published in a very short run in 2014, Undocumented: The Architecture of Migrant Detention uses comics, architectural sketches, and interviews grown out of the research of architect and activist Tings Chak. Chak has been active in the Toronto chapter of No One is Illegal, a group dedicated to protecting the rights and freedoms of migrants. 

This second, expanded edition of the book comes at a difficult time for migrants,  featuring an updated afterword by Syed Hussan (No One Is Illegal, Toronto), as well as an interview with a former detainee. Undocumented provides critical context for understanding how migrant detention works to strip people of their humanity and make them invisible to society at large. Forewarned is forearmed as they say and this book helps to explain what is shaping up to be one of the most important struggles of the 21st century.

What’s more, Chak is donating her royalties to the End Immigration Detention Network, so every sale will help fight the oppression of migrants.
