- Title
The Greek Shipwreck Oracle: a Horrible Accident at Sea or the Inevitable Function of Militarized Borders?
- Authors
MILLER, TODD
- Abstract
Alongside the reporting on the Moria case and contemporary migration policies in Greece, I also write about my own family's migration story from Greece in the Ellis Island era, about the myths of Western civilization and of whiteness, about the global border regime, and about the power and the limitations of storytelling. JULY 4, 2023 In the early morning on June 14, 47 nautical miles from the coast of Pylos, Greece, a fishing boat packed with about 700 passengers sank into the water. The Greek Coast Guard or other authorities routinely drag boats of refugees from Greek waters back into Turkish seas, often destroying their engines and leaving them to drift.
