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 and succinct overview of the contemporary philosophical debates about immigration. Its length, accessible style, and real world examples will make it appealing to undergraduates and the educated public, and its distinctive perspective will make it a "must read" for anyone working in the field."
Joseph H. Carens, University of Toronto

"This is a distinctive and immensely accessible contribution to the philosophical debate about immigration. Clearly articulated and punchily argued, Bertram builds the case against the status quo while highlighting the moral and political costs of the current global migration regime of (near) unilateral state discretion."
David Owen, University of Southampton
