Description: "Our contemporary moment presents significant new justice challenges for people on the move. Anti-migrant sentiment has emerged in several ways. By executive order the US has adopted immigration policy that looks remarkably similar to a Muslim ban. There are new threats to deport long-settled residents, such as the so-called Dreamers. Our defunct refugee system has not dealt adequately with increased refugee flows, forcing desperate people to undertake increasingly risky measures in efforts to reach safe havens. Increased migration flows over recent years appear to have contributed to a rise in right-wing populism, apparently driving phenomena such as Brexit and Trumpism. In this book Brock addresses such migration justice challenges. She offers a comprehensive framework that can assist in responding to these developments, offering the tools we need to understand what justice requires for people on the move"--
