Opis

States claim the right to pick and choose who can come to their country to live and work. They put up barriers and expose migrants to deadly journeys. Those who are lucky enough to survive are labelled as 'illegal' and find themselves vulnerable and unrepresented.

Recenzje

Bertram s excellent book provides a lucid overview of contemporary philosophical debates about immigration. Its brevity, accessible style, real–world examples, and distinctive perspective will appeal to scholars and students alike. A must read .
Joseph H. Carens, University of Toronto

This is a distinctive and immensely accessible contribution to the philosophical debate about immigration. Bertram demonstrates the moral and political costs of the current global migration regime and articulates an attractive ideal of justice in migration.
