In recent years immigration and the integration of migrants and
minorities have become politicised in public and policy debates in
Britain, the rest of Europe and the United States. In such debates,
migrants are commonly treated as objects of politics and spoken in
terms of management, national interest, control and contention.
This treatment has characterised not only policy makers and
politicians but also many academics. Existing scholarly research on
migrants as subjects of politics is limited and largely carried out
through detached and structural approaches. These approaches have
focused on the institutional environments in which mobilisations
develop. They have, however, overlooked migrants? conditions,
experiences, subjectivities and practices as well as the focus of
their engagement.
This volume contributes to the study of migrants? mobilisation
through theoretically informed original empirical papers focusing
on current forms and aspects of migrants and minorities practices
of citizenship in an engaged and people-centred manner. In
particular, the book addresses issues of change both in the forms
assumed by migrants? and minorities political engagements and in
the transformations these engagements produce as well as
exclusion-inclusion dynamics that migrants experience with regard
to the political process and more generally.
This book was previously published as a special issue of Ethnic
and Racial Studies.
