Description
The history of migration is deeply entangled with colonialism. This book explores how colonial logics continue to shape the dynamics of migration and the responses of states to those arriving at their borders. Lucy Mayblin and Joe Turner argue that scholars need not forge new theories but must learn from existing literature on postcolonial, decolonial, and related scholarship. By examining these perspectives, they demonstrate how paying attention to colonialism can offer valuable insights into international migration today. This book provides a vital intervention in the field of migration studies, encouraging scholars and students to explore the histories and continuities of colonialism in order to better understand the present.
