By the 1980s, the rest of the Anglo-European world had followed suit, purging discriminatory language from their immigration laws and achieving what many believe to be a colorblind international system. Undesirable Immigrants challenges this notion, revealing how racial inequality persists in global migration despite the end of formally racist laws. In this eye-opening book, Andrew Rosenberg argues that while today's leaders claim that their policies are objective and seek only to restrict obviously dangerous migrants, these policies are still correlated with race. He traces how colonialism and white supremacy catalyzed violence and sabotaged institutions around the world, and how this historical legacy has produced migrants that the former imperial powers and their allies now deem unfit to enter.Rosenberg shows how postcolonial states remain embedded in a Western culture that requires them to continuously perform their statehood, and how the closing and policing of international borders has become an important symbol of sovereignty, one that imposes harsher restrictions on non-white migrants. Drawing on a wealth of original quantitative evidence, Undesirable Immigrants demonstrates that we cannot address the challenges of international migration without coming to terms with the brutal history ofcolonialism"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Emigration and immigration $x Government policy. 650 0 $a Emigration and immigration $x Social aspects. $9 191531 650 0 $a Racism. $9 74561 650 0 $a Imperialism. $9 67270 650 0 $a Postcolonialism. 650 7 $a POLITICAL SCIENCE / Public Policy / Immigration $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY / United States / 20th Century $2 bisacsh 776 08 $i Online version: 776 08 $a Rosen, Andrew S., 1990- $t Undesirable immigrants $d Princeton : Princeton University Press, [2022] $z 9780691238753 $w (DLC) 2022015605 941 $a 1 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20220823010614.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0F30720222A911ED8A7D5B3833ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
