Harshly exploited migrant labour plays a fundamental role in the
political economy of contemporary capitalism. The abstract and
utopian theorising of many liberals and leftists on the migration
question often ignores or downplays patterns of displacement and
brutal class dynamics, which divide and weaken working people while
empowering the ruling class. In this important new book, Hannah
Cross provides a sober analysis of the class antagonisms of
migration in the context of the nation, social democracy, and the
racialized ordering of the world. Bringing Marxist methodology and
strategy to a careful analysis of existing emancipatory movements,
she sets out the programmes and approaches that are needed to
promote global worker solidarity and create a future in which cheap
labour is no longer a mainstay of wealthy economies. This focus on
the labouring classes allows her to identify some important new
directions for migration in a world beyond capitalism, exploitation
and injustice. This book will be essential reading for students,
scholars and general readers interested in the politics and
political economy of migration in a world unhelpfully caught
between racist authoritarian capitalism and the wishful-thinking of
contemporary left-liberalism.
