Looking around Viktoria Square in the centre of Athens on a summer morning in 2010, one can clearly see the realities of international migration. Viktoria Square is not where the various embassies are located in the Greek capital. Nor is it a commercial or financial centre. The migration that is apparent in Viktoria Square is the movement of people that happens outside of the world of visa programmes, commerce, or international banking. What is evident in Viktoria Square is irregular, undocumented and forced migration, a movement of peoples that is intimately related to the aforementioned international forces, yet takes place in what often seems as though it is a different world.
