Book SynopsisTrade Review"Winner of the Theodore Saloutos Book Award, Immigration and Ethnic History Society""Winner of the Frances Richardson Keller-Sierra Prize, Western Association of Women Historians""Immigrants’ struggles to live and flourish in the United States aren’t only about the border, Sarah Coleman demonstrates in this comprehensive examination of immigration politics since 1965."---Elizabeth Palmer, The Christian Century"The complex thicket of political divisions over immigration policy, whose origins in the late twentieth century Coleman so ably analyzes, remain largely intact. For those eager to advance the cause of immigrant rights, or for anyone who wants to understand the historical roots of the current political landscape, The Walls Within should be required reading."---Ruth Milkman, Dissent"Coleman provides valuable historical perspective on how the politics of immigration control has resulted in dire consequences for millions of immigrants and transformed the US into a country in which the benefits of citizenship are denied to a significant population living legally within its borders. . . . Recommended." * Choice Reviews *"The virtue of Coleman’s book is its thick descriptive account of the to-and-fro struggle between liberals and conservatives and her appreciation of the variety of contingent realities that made outcomes difficult to predict."---Peter Kivisto, Ethnic and Racial Studies

Princeton University Press Engage and Evade
Book SynopsisTrade Review"A provocative intervention that challenges the popular and scholarly understandings of institutional surveillance on undocumented immigrants. . . . valuable, nuanced, and insightful. . . . This important book will surely support the societal inclusion of undocumented immigrants by illuminating and interfering in the inequalities of laws and policies."---Oscar R. Cornejo Casares, Law & Society Review"Engage and Evade is an interdisciplinary study at the intersection of sociology, political science and law, which makes a significant contribution to the fields of migration and surveillance studies."---P. Arun, International Migration Review"Engage and Evade, a thought-provoking study of how undocumented immigrants contend with surveillance, sheds light on why the vast majority of undocumented immigrants follow the law: they were also law-abiding in their home countries and now seek social inclusion in the United States, where they are making a life for their families. . . . Engage and Evade is sociology at its finest."---Richard Mora, Sociology of Race and Ethnicity"Asad challenges the conventional notion that undocumented immigrants in the United States hide in the shadows, fearful of all forms of institutional authority. Rather, he persuasively argues, many engage selectively and rationally with both law enforcement and service institutions such as schools, hospitals and health clinics, and organizations that provide social assistance."---Richard Feinberg, Foreign Affairs"[A]dmirable is Asad’s intimate familiarity with the narratives, sentiments, and aspirations Latino immigrants express as they make [a] life in the United States"---Aaron Arredondo, Ethnic and Racial Studies"Beyond portraying immigrants in the workplace as workers or households as parents alone, Asad explores what it means to be wholly human . . . In [Engage and Evade], it is beautiful to see immigrants subjectivities centralized in the analysis of their everyday decisions and behaviors related to institutional interactions. . . . [A] must-read."---Stephanie Canizales, Social Forces

University of British Columbia Press Humanitarianism Identity and Nation
Book SynopsisRefugees are on the move around the globe. Prosperous nations are rapidly adjusting their laws to crack down on the so-called undeserving. Australia and Canada have each sought international reputations as humanitarian do-gooders, especially in the area of refugee admissions.Humanitarianism, Identity, and Nation traces the connections between the nation-building tradition of immigration and the challenge of admitting people who do not reflect the national interest of the twenty-first century. Catherine Dauvergne argues that in the absence of the justice standard for admitting newcomers, liberal nations instead share a humanitarian consensus about letting in needy outsiders. This consensus constrains and shapes migration law and policy. In a detailed consideration of how refugees and others in need are admitted to Australia and Canada, she links humanitarianism and national identity to explain the current shape of the law.If the problems of immigration policy wTrade ReviewCatherine Dauvergne’s study of the relationship between the migration laws of Australia and Canada and their national identities by no means sits on the uncritical side of this fence. One could say that this is due to her explicit use of critical theory. After surveying the work of liberal theorists on questions of migration, she situates herself within a critical school. She draws on Peter Fitzpatrick’s and Martha Minow’s insights regarding the dichotomous pairings and the inherent instability within liberal rights discourses and concepts (pp.25, 213). But her nuances analysis is more than a use of, or a borrowing from, the pages of critical theory. Indeed, one of the attractive features of this book is its originality. -- Jonathan Klaaren, Professor of Law, The University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg * Law and Politics Book Review *The strength of Dauvergne’s book lies in its bold attempt to connect the identity construction of the nation/state to migration laws. In doing so, she shifts the discourse of migration laws from its economic framework to a humanitarian one. This book is written in a fluid and accessible style that most readers will appreciate. In conclusion, this is an insightful text that can be used effectively for teaching purposes at the senior undergraduate level in the disciplines of sociology, law, social work, and political science. This text is also an excellent resource for research projects in the area of human right and migration laws. -- Parbattie Ramsarran, Department of Sociology, York University * Canadian Ethnic Studies, Vol. 37, No.2 *Table of ContentsPart 1: Reading Migration Laws1 Introduction2 The Insights of Identity3 Nation and Migration4 Humanitarianism and IdentityPart 2: Humanitarian Admissions to Australia and Canada5 Constructing Others: The Refugee Process6 Reflecting Ourselves: The Mirror of Humanitarianism7 Identities, Rights, and Nations8 ConclusionsAppedicesBibliographyIndex

University of Pennsylvania Press Ellis Island Nation
Book SynopsisThough debates over immigration have waxed and waned in the course of American history, the importance of immigrants to the nation''s identity is imparted in civics classes, political discourse, and television and film. We are told that the United States is a nation of immigrants, built by people who came from many lands to make an even better nation. But this belief was relatively new in the twentieth century, a period that saw the establishment of immigrant quotas that endured until the Immigrant and Nationality Act of 1965. What changed over the course of the century, according to historian Robert L. Fleegler, is the rise of contributionism, the belief that the newcomers from eastern and southern Europe contributed important cultural and economic benefits to American society.Early twentieth-century immigrants from southern and eastern Europe often found themselves criticized for language and customs at odds with their new culture, but initially found greater acceptance throTrade Review"A persuasive narrative, drawing on a wide range of sources to trace the emergence, fall, and revival of the contributionist idea. Ellis Island Nation is a valuable addition to the literature on immigration debates, ethnic diversity, and national identity in twentieth-century America." * American Historical Review *"In clear, accessible language, [Fleegler] offers well-researched accounts of such topics as World War II rhetoric promoting cross-ethnic tolerance and Cold War era efforts to promote the commonalities of Judaism, Catholicism, and Protestantism." * Journal of American Culture *"Mining a vast array of cultural and political sources, Robert Fleegler has given us a sophisticated and well-researched look at how Americans in the mid-twentieth century came to recognize the contributions of Ellis Island immigrants. In doing so, they expanded the ideal of American democracy and paved the way for a modern, multicultural America. With this book, Fleegler has made his own important contribution to the academic literature of ethnic and immigration studies." * Vincent J.

She uses a performance studies perspective to show how the theatrical concept of mise-en-scène offers new insights about immigration law and the absurdist dynamics of carceral space.

John Wiley and Sons Ltd Immigration Law and Society
Book SynopsisThe Immigration Act of 1965 was one of the most consequential laws ever passed in the United States and immigration policy continues to be one of the most contentious areas of American politics. As a "nation of immigrants," the United States has a long and complex history of immigration programs and controls which are deeply connected to the shape of American society today. This volume makes sense of the political history and the social impacts of immigration law, showing how legislation has reflected both domestic concerns and wider foreign policy. John S. W. Park examines how immigration law reforms have inspired radically different responses across all levels of government, from cooperation to outright disobedience, and how they continue to fracture broader political debates. He concludes with an overview of how significant, on-going challenges in our interconnected world, including "failed states" and climate change, will shape American migrations for many decades to come.Trade Review"John S.W.

Bristol University Press Reforming the UK’s Citizenship Test: Building
Book SynopsisHow many questions could you answer in a pub quiz about British values? Designed to ensure new migrants have accepted British values and integrated, the UK's citizenship test is often portrayed as a bad pub quiz with answers few citizens know.

Thom Brooks draws on first-hand experience of taking the test, and interviews with key figures including past Home Secretaries, to expose the test as ineffective and a barrier to citizenship. This accessible guide offers recommendations for transforming the citizenship test into a ‘bridge to citizenship’ which fosters greater inclusion and integration.Table of Contents1. A Bad Pub Quiz 2.

This concise and engaging book follows the structure of the Convention to explore international refugee law. Including an introduction to the historical and legal context, Colin Yeo draws on his experience as an immigration barrister to explain the present-day legal framework for global refugee protection. Chapters consider: • well-founded fear; • persecution; • the loss of refugee status and exclusion; • the rights of refugees; • and state responses to refugee claims. The book includes studies of key legal cases, reviews the successes and failures of the Convention and looks ahead to the future, including the impact of climate change and the Global Compact on Refugees.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Contemporary Issues in Refugee Law
Book SynopsisRefugee law is going through momentous times, as dictatorships tumble, revolutions simmer and the 'Arab Awakening' gives way to the spread of terror from Syria to the Sahel in Africa. This compilation of topical chapters, by some of the leading scholars in the field, covers major themes of rights, security, the UNHCR, international humanitarianism and state interests and sets out to map new contours.The concerns over our security are replacing humanitarian concerns over the plight of others. Securitization, exclusion and the internal relocation of genuine refugees are now the favored polices. Yet, while central idioms of protection, persecution and non-refoulement have changed, there are also new demands on refugee law. The contributors to this book ask whether there are new spheres of protection emerging, for which refugee law must find a clear space, such as the protection of child refugees, trafficked persons, gender-related asylum and conscientious objectors to military service. This timely and valuable book shows that in these uncertain times, refugee law still has an exciting and challenging future ahead.Contemporary Issues in Refugee Law will appeal to academics, researchers, students and practitioners.Contributors: I.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Property, Labour and Legal Regulation: Dignity or
Book SynopsisUsing property and labour as his major themes, Mark Findlay analyses the way in which law has come to serve the cult of the market at the expense of abandoning its broader role of serving communities. With wonderful scholarship he charts a path to how law's social purpose might be regained. Law re-emerges as the primary means for the regulatory state to re-connect with social values and communities. The book is a tour de force.'- Peter Drahos, Australian National UniversityIn this revealing comparative study, Mark Findlay examines the problematic nexus between undervalued labour and vulnerable migration status in dis-embedded markets. It highlights the frustrations raised by timeless regulatory failure and the chronic complicity of private property arrangements in delivering unsustainable market engagement. Mark Findlay identifies the challenge for normative and functional foundations of equitable governance, by repositioning regulatory principle, to restore dignity to market relations.The accountability of property through wider access and inclusion, it is argued, grounds commodified occupation as a vitally valuable social bond in which workers are empowered to participate rather than suffer exploitation. The comparative analysis of the EU and ASEAN regulatory contexts reveals that it is not simply more regulatory activity, but rather its reversion from market interests to human values, which will advance sustainability.Property, Labour and Legal Regulation offers an insightful, critical analysis of crucial contemporary issues facing social administrators, lawyers and policy makers working in the fields of migration, labour law and regulation. Its broad disciplinary coverage lends itself to students of law and regulation who will benefit from this unique evaluation of private property, labour relations and migration exclusivity.Trade Review‘Using property and labour as his major themes, Mark Findlay analyses the way in which law has come to serve the cult of the market at the expense of abandoning its broader role of serving communities.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd The Legal Protection of Refugees with
Book SynopsisRefugees living with disabilities are often forgotten or invisible during acute crises of human displacement. This groundbreaking work examines the experiences of persons with disabilities who have crossed borders in search of protection from disasters or conflict, and analyses the existing legal frameworks for their protection. The authors deftly explore the intersection between one of the oldest international human rights treaties, the 1951 Refugee Convention, with one of the newest, the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD). Drawing on pioneering fieldwork in six countries - Malaysia, Indonesia, Pakistan, Uganda, Jordan and Turkey - this book examines how the CRPD is, or should be, changing the way that governments and aid agencies engage with and accommodate refugees with disabilities. Its timeliness is underscored by the adoption in 2016 of the UN Charter on Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities in Humanitarian Action at the World Humanitarian Summit. Engaging and thought-provoking, this book will captivate any scholar studying international law, development, disability rights and refugee and forced migration studies. It is also an imperative resource for practitioners and policymakers in the humanitarian and development sector, as well as international human rights organisations.Trade Review'This pioneering book weaves together international human rights law as well as international humanitarian and refugee law in order to address the plight of an estimated 10 million disabled refugees in the world. It tracks the steady evolution of international humanitarian and refugee law to keep pace with the insights and new standards in the UN convention on the rights of persons with disabilities, complementing legal analysis with a detailed and highly accessible examination of the situation on the ground. This work will endure as the standard reference work on refugees with disabilities, opening up a new field and doubtlessly attracting many others to contribute to it. It has a major role to play in framing a reform agenda to narrow the gap between the majestic generalities of the UN disability treaty and the actual living conditions of many millions of persons with disabilities.' --Gerard Quinn, National University of Ireland'At a time when the whole world is in an emotional state about refugees, with escalating polarization and discrimination, it is easy to invoke antagonistic feelings about the ''other''. Sadly, our ideal of "living together" is being replaced by the word ''security'' each day and it is time we remember that there is another side to security. This is why I am honored to endorse this great book by Crock, Smith-Khan, McCallum and Saul; for reminding us of the protection issues and rights of refugees with disabilities, making them visible again. This book does not only provide a rich variety of field findings, identifying the complex issues related to forced displacement and disability in the field, but also offers great guidance on how to overcome these challenges through the utilization of international law.' --Safak Pavey, MP, Turkish Parliament and former member of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with DisabilitiesTable of ContentsContents: Part I Setting the Scene 1.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Constitutionalising the External Dimensions of EU
Book SynopsisThis discerning book examines EU migration and asylum polices in times of crisis by assessing old and new patterns of cooperation in EU migration management policies in the scope of third-country cooperation. The case studies explored reveal that there has been a clear tendency and strategy to move away from or go outside the decision making rules and institutional principles enshrined in the Lisbon Treaty to advance third country cooperation on migration management. It explores the implications of and effects of the adoption of extra-Treaty instruments and patterns of cooperation in the light of EU rule of law and fundamental rights principles and standards. The book, examines the ways in which the politics of migration crisis and their patterns of cooperation and legal/policy outcomes evidenced since 2015 affect and might even undermine EU's legitimacy in these policy areas. Constitutionalising the External Dimensions of EU Migration Policies in Times of Crisis will be a key resource for academics and students focussing on EU Law and migration more specifically. Timely and engaging, it will also appeal to policy- makers, legal practitioners and international organisation representatives alike.Trade Review‘The well-written introduction lays the foundation of the whole volume, which proves to be thought-provoking and cutting-edge.’ -- Kevin Fredy Hinterberger, Common Market Law Review'Whereas certain EU measures responding to the migration and asylum crisis, not least the EU Turkey ''Statement'' of March 2016, took observers by surprise, these actions are more accurately understood as part of a well-established tendency in EU cooperation with third countries on migration control. This volume offers a thought-provoking account of this tendency, pointing to its conceptual link to ''crisis labelling'' and to the constitutional challenges it poses to the Union principles of democracy, the rule of law and fundamental rights.' --Jens Vedsted-Hansen, Aarhus University, Denmark'This highly topical book deals deeply with the fundamental issues raised by the external dimension of EU law in the field of migration. Combining historical and contemporary approaches, it proposes an original modelling of possible external co-operation in accordance with the rule of law. The authors are among the best specialists in these topics in Europe.' --Jean-Sylvestre Berge, Cote d Azur University and University Institute France, France'The external dimensions of EU migration policies can result in serious violations of the human rights of migrants, out of reach of EU human rights watchdogs. If the EU is to retain its reputation as a rule-based human-rights-respecting polity, such external dimensions need proper oversight and sharp critical assessment. This book provides a first and often damning evaluation of this complex policy field, but also outlines ways in which the EU could adopt a more ''comprehensive approach'' to migration policies.

Collective Ink Borderlines: The Edges of US Capitalism,
Book SynopsisThe current U.S. immigration nightmare is a product of capitalism. The familiar, heartbreaking stories of dangerous treks, migrant exploitation, asylum, family separation and detention all have their roots in the material conditions of the dominant economic system. Immigrants' place in American democracy has long been intertwined with questions of cheap labor and exploitation, sovereign power, and the preservation of class relations. Through different facets of the immigration system, Borderlines explores how power and profit are perpetuated by the divisions between migrant and citizen and the resulting dehumanization of both. It demonstrates the necessity of a radical working-class demand for economic and political justice across borders and the edges of democracy.

Book SynopsisAs the law and politics of migration become increasingly intertwined, this thought-provoking Research Handbook addresses the challenge of analysing their relationship. Discussing the evolving theoretical approaches to migration, it explores the growing attention given to the legal frameworks for migration and the expansion of regulation, as migration moves to the centre of the global political agenda.The Research Handbook demonstrates that the overlap between law and politics puts the rule of law at risk in matters of migration as advocates around the globe increasingly turn to law to address the challenges of new migration politics. Presenting a fresh mapping of current issues in the field, it focusses on institutions of migration and analyses the securitization of migration management and the strengths and weaknesses of the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration.Written by leading scholars specialising in a range of disciplines, the Research Handbook on the Law and Politics of Migration will be an illuminating read for academics and students of migration studies with backgrounds in law, politics, criminology, sociology, history, geography and beyond.Trade Review'This Research Handbook is both timely and timeless - offering penetrating insight into contemporary developments in subjects as diverse as technology and migration, or the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, while also offering fresh insights into persistent normative and conceptual debates in the field. It is bound to become a field-defining collection.' -- Audrey Macklin, University of Toronto, Canada'Dauvergne's elegant volume is a tour de force of the inseparability of migration law and politics. The weaknesses of existing migration frameworks are exposed at a time when the human desire to move has never been so universally shared nor so comprehensively thwarted. From impenetrable webs of repulsion and management to medico-legal borders in the time of a pandemic, this Research Handbook pushes us to question what the migration frameworks of tomorrow need to look like and all of the legal, political and institutional challenges they will bring. Brava.' -- Sharon Pickering, Monash University, Australia'This Research Handbook is a must-have for anyone seeking to truly understand the relationship between law, politics, and migration. It represents a unique collaboration among an interdisciplinary, transnational collection of pre-eminent scholars who apply their expertise to the most significant migration questions of the modern world.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Handbook of Migration and Global Justice
Book SynopsisThis timely Handbook brings together leading international scholars from a range of disciplinary backgrounds and geopolitical perspectives to interrogate the intersections between migration and global justice. It explores how cross-border mobility and migration have been affected by rapid economic, cultural and technological globalisation, addressing the pressing questions of global justice that arise as governments respond to unprecedented levels of global migration. Chapters analyse the key issues arising from tensions between international and national priorities, duties and laws, as well as visions for human coexistence and harmony. Featuring chapters written by researchers, political activists and contributors with lived experience of migration injustice, the Handbook explores central topics including failures in refugee protection, worker exploitation and violence against migrants. Looking ahead, it also discusses possible pathways to achieve global justice in and through migration, in terms of geopolitics, subjective experience, human rights and redistributive justice, global solidarity and political activism. Combining empirical case studies with cutting-edge theory, this Handbook will be an invaluable resource for scholars and students of migration, human rights and public policy. The application of the global justice concept to issues of migration and border control will also be useful for policy makers, practitioners and NGOs in these areas.Trade Review‘This volume will be a valuable source for all scholars and students who are interested in the global and local manifestations of justice projects within the context of migration and mobility. Not only does it outline the complexity of actors, processes, conditions, and subjectivities within multiple arenas of migration-related justice claims, but it also focuses critical attention on the nexus between global justice and multiple interwoven facets of securitization, racialization, and marginalization.’ -- Anna Amelina, Miriam Friz Trzeciak, Ethnic and Racial Studies‘Handbook of Migration and Global Justice is an invaluable addition to college and university library Social Issues collections, worthy of the highest recommendation.’ -- James A Cox, Midwest Book Review‘Handbook of Migration and Global Justice brings together an impressive assemblage of migration scholars to analyze how nation-states have transformed immigration into crises that call forth intensified protection of both state boundaries and national identities. Truly global in scope, and firmly grounded in the political economy of labour and the politics of human rights, this book offers new insights into the subterranean forces and structural arrangements animating the largest human migration in history, as well as the ineffectual and routinely inhumane responses many destination nations have mobilized to thwart human needs for mobility. It is a must read for those interested in the cutting-edge of migration scholarship.’ -- Raymond J. Michalowski, Northern Arizona University, US'This is an important book that brings together normative and empirical considerations about the intersections of migration with global justice - and of migrants as workers and as carriers of rights.

Cambridge University Press The Comparative Politics of Immigration
Book SynopsisMany governments face similar pressures surrounding the hotly debated topic of immigration. Yet, the disparate ways in which policy makers respond is striking. The Comparative Politics of Immigration explains why democratic governments adopt the immigration policies they do. Through an in-depth study of immigration politics in Germany, Canada, Switzerland, and the United States, Antje Ellermann examines the development of immigration policy from the postwar era to the present. The book presents a new theory of immigration policymaking grounded in the political insulation of policy makers. Three types of insulation shape the translation of immigration preference into policy: popular insulation from demands of the unorganized public, interest group insulation from the claims of organized lobbies, and diplomatic insulation from the lobbying of immigrant-sending states. Addressing the nuances in immigration reforms, Ellermann analyzes both institutional factors and policy actors'' strategiTrade Review'With a sophisticated research design and deep knowledge of immigration politics across a range of liberal democracies, Antje Ellermann offers us a powerful explanation of why countries open and close their borders over time. The Comparative Politics of Immigration will be an instant classic in the field and a touchstone for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of immigration policy.' James F. Hollifield, Tower Center, SMU'I know of no book that more compellingly demonstrates the importance of political structures for explaining why some countries end up with liberal and others with restrictive immigration policies. Known for her brilliant previous book on deportations, Antje Ellermann is one of the leading political scientists studying immigration today.' Christian Joppke, University of Bern'The Comparative Politics of Immigration is the most intellectually satisfying analysis of immigration politics and policymaking available. Antje Ellermann masterfully combines high level theorizing, meticulous empirical research, and careful comparison to help us understand why contemporary liberal-democratic states have pursued such differing immigration policies despite facing similar challenges. A seminal work by an outstanding scholar.' Triadafilos Triadafilopoulos, University of Toronto'One of the book's greatest strengths is the clarity with which Ellermann presents a wide range of policy options in her case studies. She provides a nuanced analysis of immigration politics and policymaking that moves beyond the traditional approaches of immigration policies. Her focus on the policy dynamics is sustained by compelling arguments for each country examined.' Ariane Chebel D'Appollonia, Political Science QuarterlyTable of Contents1. Introduction; 2.
