On Immigration and Refugees Summary
| Michael Dummett, philosopher and social critic, is also one of the sharpest and most prominent commentators and campaigners for the fair treatment of immigrants and refugees in Britain and Europe. This book insightfully draws together his thoughts on this major issue for the first time. Exploring the confused and often highly unjust thinking about immigration, Dummett then carefully questions the principles and justifications governing state policies, pointing out that they often conflict with the rights of refugees as laid down by the Geneva Convention. With compelling and often moving examples, On Immigration and Refugees points a new way forward for humane thinking and practice about a problem we cannot afford to ignore. |

|
| Michael Dummett is one of the most influential philosophers of the post-war period. "On Immigration and Refugees" draws together his thoughts on this major issue for the first time. Dummett asks what rights opponents of immigration actually uphold, what principles govern a state's policies on immigration and how this often conflicts with the rights of refugees as laid down by the Geneva Convention. He shows how arguments used in support of curtailing immigration, such as perceived threats to the national culture, the swelling of local population levels, or that it is good for race relations, are often completely ungrounded. |
