Impoverishment and Asylum argues that a shift has taken place in
recent decades towards construing asylum as primarily a political
and/or humanitarian phenomenon, to construing it as primarily an
economic phenomenon, and that this shift has had led to the
purposeful impoverishment, by the state, of people seeking asylum
in the UK. This shift has far-reaching consequences for people
seeking asylum, who have been systematically impoverished as part
of the effort to strip out any possibility of an economic pull
factor leading to more arrivals, but also for those administering
their support system, and for civil society organisations and
groups who seek to ameliorate the worst effects of the resulting
asylum regimes. This book argues that within this context asylum
support policies in the UK which are meant to help and protect, in
fact do serious harm to their recipients. It argues that the shift
from construing asylum seekers as economically, rather than
politically, motivated migrants across the West, is part of a much
broader set of historical and philosophical worldviews than has
previously been articulated. The book offers a rigorously
researched and richly theorised analysis drawing on postcolonial
and decolonial perspectives in making sense of the purposeful
impoverishment by the state of a particular group of people, and
why this continues to be tolerated in the fourth richest country in
the world.
