Understanding immigration and refugee policy by Rosemary Sales

Understanding immigration and refugee policy by Rosemary Sales

The book provides an essential background to understanding debates surrounding immigration and refugee policy. It examines different theoretical approaches to immigration and explores links between immigration policy, welfare and social exclusion, as well as documenting migrants' experiences in negotiating and challenging these policies.

"Understanding Immigration and Refugee Policy.. is a readable textbook on modern-day migration ... strong on current policy development, including the implications for the often overlooked theme of gender ... [the book is] particularly effective at tracing the recent debate on Britishness and citizenship." Bulletin, Joint Council for the Welfare of Immigrants, Autumn 2007
"For an explanation of the history and the current position [on immigration and refugee policy], I must recommend Professor Rosemary Sales' book... In a six-month period, 1509 press articles were mainly characterised by an alarmism likely to spread fear and bigotry. Her book gives the facts." Bob Holman, The Herald, Society Section, 26/06/07
"This book provides an excellent addition to the literature and a much needed overview to the key concepts and issues in global migration and the development of immigration and asylum policy. It addresses crucial themes enabling the reader to understand not only the complexity of international migration in the 21st century but also the development of policy and its impact on the the lives of migrants. The book is thought provoking and deserves to be read widely." Alice Bloch, City University
