Reviews

Surely a must-read for scholars interested in the recent 'refugee crisis', and those who more broadly want to comprehend how compassion is used both to uphold and counter asylum and immigration policies... the first extensive study of how 'benevolence' is articulated in immigration and asylum debates in the 'minority world', making the book very topical and useful to understand ongoing events. Migration Studies, June 2019 This lucid, useful book throws new light on how we think about migration. It deftly links theory and evidence to explain the 'compassionate refusal' used to justify exclusionary migration policies. Hannah Jones, University of Warwick
