Bridget Anderson, Us & Them? The Dangerous Politics of Immigration Control

Abstract

'Us and Them?' explores the distinction between migrant and citizen through using the concept of 'the community of value'. The challenges of migration go to the heart of equality, rights freedom, and membership. These are not only matters for migrants but go to the heart of citizens' politics. Citizenship and the community of value : exclusion, failure, tolerance -- The chrysalis for every species of criminal? : vagrancy, settlement, and mobility -- Subjects, aliens, citizens, migrants -- Migration management : ending in tiers -- "British jobs for British workers!" : migration and the UK labour market -- New citizens : the values of belonging -- Uncivilized others : enforcement and forced exit -- Uncivilized others : rescuing victims -- Immigration and domestic work : between a rock and a hard place -- Making the difference.
