This book examines the antagonistic relationship between new
European nationalisms as these often go hand-in-hand with populism,
and the phenomenon of migration. Migration has become a significant
issue both in Europe and the whole world. Although it has always
existed, much of public opinion sees it now as a problem. The
latter has been exaggerated through a crisis in hospitality
exacerbated by the relatively recently constructed and misplaced
feeling of a civilisational threat from islam. Migration is then
countered by the escalation of new nationalisms, at least some of
which are supported by populism. This book offers an understanding
of this conjunction of migration and nationalism in the post-cold
war European context. More specifically, the book takes up how the
end of the simplified cold war cognitive binary means an
unprecedented epistemological confusion and depoliticisation which
takes migration as its target, but could resort to other targets
too. Discussing the postcolonial background to the new migrations,
the book also considers womens' rights, postsocialism and the
relevance of the current pandemic, as the issue of migration is
addressed in the context of the European crisis-ridden present.
This wide-ranging interrogation of how contemporary European
migration is conceived and understood will appeal to students,
academics, activists, policy makers, and others with interests in
contemporary migration, new nationalisms, populism, feminism,
colonial, postcolonial, and decolonial issues, as well as socialism
and postsocialism.
