Produktbeschreibung
Liz Fekete is a leading authority on issues of racism, Islamophobia and national security legislation. "A Suitable Enemy" draws on sixteen years of research to present a comprehensive overview of EU immigration, asylum, race and security policies. Fekete argues that at the same time as the EU introduces selective migration policies, it closes its borders against asylum seekers who were the first victims of the growth of the security state which now embraces Muslims. She explores the way in which anti-terrorist legislation has been used to evict undesirable migrants, how deportation policies commodify and de-humanise the most vulnerable and how these go hand in hand with evolving forms of racism, particularly Islamophobia. At the heart of the book is an examination of xeno-racism -- a non-colour coded form of institutionalised racism -- where migrants who do not assimilate, or who are believed to be incapable of assimilation, are excluded.
One of the best analysts of the complexities of racism in Europe today. This the major work we've been waiting for. An enormously accomplished and important book' - Professor Avery Gordon, Department of Sociology, University of California, Santa Barbara 'Presents an important analysis that should be used by anyone concerned about the real threats to human rights and democracy today' - Professor Stephen Castles International Migration Institute, University of Oxford 'Deserves a slow and careful reading. Liz Fekete reaches into the unique archives of knowledge and provides a clear, detailed and insightful road map for those who want to navigate and understand where, how and why current executive actions are reproducing. This work of extraordinary thoroughness and clear, passionate moral insight provides a primer of unparalleled utility' - Gareth Peirce, civil rights lawyer
