Becky Taylor

4.9/5 (16271 ratings)

Description:In the midst of the current clamour over Brexit, borders and Britishness, Taylor's book uses refugees as a lens to examine the broader contours, contradictions and hostilities of British society in an earlier age of mass migration, globalisation and displacement. Important, illuminating and crucial to understanding citizenship, illegalisation and multi-status Britain today.' Claire Alexander, University of Manchester'Original in conception and deeply researched, Becky Taylor's new book not only illumines the struggles of refugees to enter and make a home in Britain but also requires us to reconsider the history of the British state and civil society in the central decades of the twentieth century.' David Feldman, Birkbeck, University of London'What do refugees tell us? They tell us about ourselves. In this carefully researched and morally urgent new book, Becky Taylor tells a story of Britain through its hosting, rejection, inclusion, and exclusion of the refugees of the twentieth century. All the themes that trouble modern Britain are in this study: what we think citizenship is, what we want the state to be and to care about, who we think we are, and who we once wanted to be. It's not always a pretty story, but one we desperately need to learn from just now.'
