Review Quotes

'Building upon his earlier volume covering the nineteenth century, Ben Braber brings his research on the labelling of ethnic outsiders in British society up to the present, charting the move from alien to migrant and therefore completing his important two-century analysis of the way in which labelling marginalises migrant groups.' - Panikos Panayi, Professor of European History at De Montfort University, Leicester, UK

'This is an impressively scholarly book, extremely well researched and referenced while written in an accessible style. The book delivers an impressive selection of archival material not previously seen. Whilst the main focus of the book is Britain, Braber adds an extra dimension by providing a comparison of the attitudes and responses to immigrant arrivals in other countries in Europe and the Commonwealth. This book is an important addition to the library of migration studies and is relevant to all those studying migration in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.' - Anne J Kershen, Honorary Senior Research Fellow, Queen Mary University of London, UK
