Adopting a justice and dignity\u2010centered perspective, we analyze grassroots forms of resistance emerging at the border. The study focuses on the protests of Tunisian migrants and explores the role of emotions under specific conditions of oppression. Grounded in theories of\n                    <jats:italic>affective injustice<\/jats:italic>\n                    and in dialogue with community psychology scholarship on detention and resistance, we expose the emotional harms produced by confinement and the affective capacities that enable detainees to manifest their agency. In particular, we highlight the transformative potential of restorative anger. When collectively recognized, anger created a cross\u2010border community between Spain and Tunisia\u2014one in which each act of resistance built upon the next, in a chain reaction that challenged the logic of nation\u2010states and border regimes. These findings advance our understanding of how affective border harms operate, while demonstrating that emotions can mobilize communities that transcend borders and structural hierarchies. We conclude by emphasizing the emotional dynamics of detention and their capacity to foster justice and liberation, and reflect on community psychology's potential to generate critical knowledge on border detention.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/ajcp.70070","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,20]],"date-time":"2026-04-20T09:20:32Z","timestamp":1776676832000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Border harm and affective injustice: The politics of anger at the Melilla border, Spain"],"prefix":"10.1002","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5176-4735","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Corina","family":"Tulbure","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Barcelona, MIGRADRET\u2010GREC Barcelona Spain"},{"name":"West University of Timi\u0219oara Timi\u0219oara Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_11_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.4324\/9780203700372","volume-title":"The cultural politics of emotion","author":"Ahmed S.","year":"2013"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_3_1","first-page":"95","article-title":"The skin of the community: Affect and boundary formation","author":"Ahmed S.","year":"2005","journal-title":"Revolt, Affect, Collectivity: The Unstable Boundaries of Kristeva's Polis"},{"issue":"4","key":"e_1_2_11_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"110","DOI":"10.17645\/si.v8i4.3741","article-title":"Method as border: Tuning in to the cacophony of academic backstages of migration, mobility and border studies","volume":"8","author":"Aparna K.","year":"2020","journal-title":"Social Inclusion"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.1016\/j.polgeo.2023.102836","article-title":"When politics are contagious: Covid\u201019 and political resistance inside an immigration detention center","volume":"101","author":"Asoni E.","year":"2023","journal-title":"Political Geography"},{"issue":"19","key":"e_1_2_11_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"S26","DOI":"10.1086\/699280","article-title":"Militarized global apartheid","volume":"60","author":"Besteman C.","year":"2019","journal-title":"Current Anthropology"},{"issue":"3","key":"e_1_2_11_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"34","DOI":"10.3390\/laws12030034","article-title":"The persistent, pernicious use of pushbacks against children and adults in search of safety","volume":"12","author":"Bochenek M.
