Us and Them? explores the distinction between migrant and citizen
through using the concept of 'the community of value'. The
community of value is comprised of Good Citizens and is defined
from outside by the Non-Citizen and from the inside by the Failed
Citizen, that is figures like the benefit scrounger, the criminal,
the teenage mother etc. While Failed Citizens and Non-Citizens are
often strongly differentiated, the book argues that it is
analytically and politically productive to to consider them
together. Judgments about who counts as skilled, what is a good
marriage, who is suitable for citizenship, and what sort of
enforcement is acceptable against 'illegals', affect citizens as
well as migrants. Rather than simple competitors for the privileges
of membership, citizens and migrants define each other through sets
of relations that shift and are not straightforward binaries. The
first two chapters on vagrancy and on Empire historicise migration
management by linking it to attempts to control the mobility of the
poor. The following three chapters map and interrogate the concept
of the 'national labour market' and UK immigration and citizenship
policies examining how they work within public debate to produce
'us and them'. Chapters 6 and 7 go on to discuss the challenges
posed by enforcement and deportation, and the attempt to make this
compatible with liberalism through anti-trafficking policies. It
ends with a case study of domestic labour as exemplifying the ways
in which all the issues outlined above come together in the lives
of migrants and their employers.
