Refugees, Capitalism and the British State - Implications for Social Workers, Volunteers and Activists (Hardcover, New Ed): Tom... Refugees, Capitalism and the British State - Implications for Social Workers, Volunteers and Activists (Hardcover, New Ed)
Tom Vickers
R1,779 Discovery Miles 17 790 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Today, in a period of economic crisis, public sector cuts and escalating class struggle, Marxism offers important tools for social workers and service users to understand the structures of oppression they face and devise effective means of resistance. This book uses Marxism's lost insights and reinterprets them in the current context by focussing on one particular section of the international working class - refugees and asylum seekers in Britain. Vickers' analysis demonstrates the general utility of a Marxist approach, enabling an exploration of the interplay between state policies, how these are experienced by their subjects, and how conflicts are mediated. The substantive focus of the book is twofold: to analyse the material basis of the oppression of refugees in Britain by the British state; and to examine the means by which the British state has 'managed' this oppression through the cultivation of a 'refugee relations industry', within a broader narrative of 'social capital building'. These questions demand answers if social workers and other practitioners are to successfully work with refugees and asylum seekers, and this book provides these through a detailed Marxist analysis.

Borders, Migration and Class in an Age of Crisis - Producing Workers and Immigrants (Paperback): Tom Vickers Borders, Migration and Class in an Age of Crisis - Producing Workers and Immigrants (Paperback)
Tom Vickers
R809 Discovery Miles 8 090 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This book responds to global tendencies toward increasingly restrictive border controls and populist movements targeting migrants for violence and exclusion. Informed by Marxist theory, it challenges standard narratives about immigration and problematises commonplace distinctions between 'migrants' and 'workers'. Using Britain as a case study, the book examines how these categories have been constructed and mobilised within representations of a 'migrant crisis' and a 'welfare crisis' to facilitate capitalist exploitation. It uses ideas from grassroots activism to propose alternative understandings of the relationship between borders, migration and class that provide a basis for solidarity.
