Living on the Margins: Undocumented Migrants in a Global City de Alice Bloch

Living on the Margins: Undocumented Migrants in a Global City

Autor Alice Bloch, Sonia McKay
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 23 mai 2017
As debates over immigration policy rage in the United States and around the globe, Living on the Margins offers profound insight into the working lives of undocumented migrants themselves. Focusing on London-based migrants and their employers, Alice Bloch and Sonia McKay expose the contradictions in policy and interactions among class, immigration hierarchies, and gender that operate within the ethnic enclave economy, marginalizing and criminalizing these migrants while promoting exploitative labor markets. But the authors also offer hope, revealing how migrants can be active agents in shaping their lives within the constraints of their undocumented status. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, this book places migrant research in a global context, providing theoretical, policy, and empirical analyses that travel across borders.

Recenzii

"Bloch and McKay not only show the challenges faced by those living without documentation, but also explore current legislation and policies that are shaping these experiences."

"A very welcome contribution in a context where immigrants are seen as scapegoats for unemployment and weakening social cohesion."

“The book’s clear structure and the vivid firsthand testimonies make Living on the Margins accessible for undergraduate and graduate students. It is a valuable resource for a wide range of courses in labor and migration sociology, inequality, citizen rights, law, and ethnic and cultural studies.”

“Based on lengthy interviews with workers and employers from China, Turkey, and Bangladesh, this book documents in tragic detail the penalties of ‘illegality’ for undocumented migrants living and working in London during an era of global economic downturn. Essential and timely.”

“This is a fascinating and accessible account of the everyday lives of undocumented migrants. Drawing on high quality empirical research, it provides a compelling narrative of their experiences and how they navigate the pressures of living on the margins of society.”

“Living on the Margins takes us a bit further than the platitudes of ‘commonsense’ when it comes to understanding the ethnic enclaves at the sharp end of immigration enforcement. . . . Bloch and McKay provide a thorough-going account of . . . the undocumented migrant.”
