This book rethinks meritocracy as a form of coloniality, namely, a
social imaginary that reproduces narratives of ethnic and racial
difference between European centres and peripheries, and between
Europe and its others. Drawing on interviews with working and
middle class, white and Black Italians who moved to Britain after
the 2008 economic crisis, the book explores the narratives of
Northern meritocracy and Southern backwardness that inform
migrants' motivations for moving abroad, and how these narratives
are experienced within classed, racialised and gendered migrations.
Connecting decolonial theory with the sociology of Pierre Bourdieu,
this book provides innovative insights into the relationships
between meritocracy, coloniality and European whiteness, and into
the social stratification of EU migrations.
