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 colourblind international system. \u003ci\u003eUndesirable Immigrants\u003c\/i\u003e challenges this notion, revealing how racial inequality persists in global migration despite the end of formally racist laws.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn 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 catalysed 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing on a wealth of original quantitative evidence, \u003ci\u003eUndesirable Immigrants\u003c\/i\u003e demonstrates that we cannot address the challenges of international migration without coming to terms with the brutal history of colonialism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47464759722220,"sku":"9780691238746","price":74.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780691238746-undesirable-immigrants.jpg?v=1775053201"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/andrew-s-rosenberg.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
