This open access book discusses the socio-political context of the
COVID-19 crisis and questions the management of the pandemic
emergency with special reference to how this affected the
governance of migration and asylum. The book offers critical
insights on the impact of the pandemic on migrant workers in
different world regions including North America, Europe and Asia.
The book addresses several categories of migrants including medical
staff, farm labourers, construction workers, care and domestic
workers and international students. It looks at border closures for
non-citizens, disruption for temporary migrants as well as at
special arrangements made for essential (migrant) workers such as
doctors or nurses as well as farmworkers, 'shipped' to destination
with special flights to make sure emergency wards are staffed, and
harvests are picked up and the food processing chain continues to
function. The book illustrates how the pandemic forces us to
rethink notions like membership, citizenship, belonging, but also
solidarity, human rights, community, essential services or
'essential' workers alongside an intersectional perspective
including ethnicity, gender and race.
