The abuse of Asian workers in the oil-rich Gulf countries, the
trafficking of undocumented latinos at the US border, the
exploitation of African sans papiers in France and the attacks on
Sub-Saharan farmhands by the mob in Italy. All these events show
how migrants, especially those without legal documents, can be an
easy target for violence and discrimination, often with impunity.
At least, until they decide to fight back. In this original,
accessible book, Vittorio Longhi, a journalist who specialises in
international labour matters, describes an emerging phenomenon of
social conflict, in which migrants are not conceived as passive
victims of exploitation. Instead they are portrayed as conscious,
vital social actors who are determined to organise and claim better
rights. With a global perspective, The immigrant war highlights the
'struggle for human rights, citizenship and equality', in the
context of a policy vacuum within the international community
towards migration. He demonstrates how these emerging conflicts can
break the chain of exploitation and contribute to rethinking
failing migration policies and the role of migrants in contemporary
societies. The book will be of interest to labour and migration
specialists, students of social sciences, trade unionists and human
rights activists, as well as a general readership interested in
migration.
