Description:
This book offers a systematic exploration of the ways in which state policy contributes to the marginalisation and criminalisation of immigrant communities in Western societies, and examines the ways in which immigrants are treated differently in different national contexts.
Review Quotes:
"In this wide-ranging, theoretically sophisticated yet subtly nuanced comparative analysis of immigration control, and of state failure to enforce labour market protections in relation to migrants, Lea Sitkin makes a decisive contribution to our understanding of the political economy of immigration regulation. This book should be read not only by lawyers and criminologists but also by political scientists and social policy scholars."
