In this new episode of The Scroll podcast, we speak with decoloniality scholar, Dr. Piro Rexhepi, about his new book, "White Enclosures: Racial Capitalism and Coloniality Along the Balkan Route". Dr. Rexhepi's research focuses on decoloniality, sexuality, and Islam in the Balkans. We discuss:

• EU and NATO eastward expansion, and what this means for Euro-Atlantic "white enclosures"

• Troubling the borders of the Euro-Atlantic enclosure
