"In this book, Lucy Mayblin and Joe Turner offer a thoroughgoing critique of the analytical and political blind spots that plague migration studies when posited from the unexamined Eurocentric standpoint of formerly imperial nation-states. This book provides a synoptic overview of how postcolonial and decolonial critiques are utterly necessary to adequately comprehend cross-border, intercontinental human mobility in our global society, and it makes an impassioned appeal to situate the contemporary politics of migration, citizenship and race within the enduring legacies of colonialism."<br /><b>Nicholas De Genova, University of Houston</b><br /><br />"This book is sorely needed. If your students ‒ or you yourself ‒ need to navigate the complex terrain of global violence, expropriation and the movement of people over a very long period, let them read this."<br /><b>Gargi Bhattacharyya, University of East London<br /><br /></b>"The book is a sharp and salutary read."<br /><i><b>Ethnic and Racial Studies<br /><br /></b></i>"A powerful case for rethinking migration under the lens of colonialism and its enduring legacies […A] much needed and long-awaited intervention, which renders readily available key literatures that migration scholars should engage with."<br /><i><b>International Affairs</b></i>
