Refuge Beyond Reach

How Rich Democracies Repel Asylum Seekers

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Why do people seeking asylum often break immigration laws? Refuge Beyond Reach shows how rich democracies deliberately and systematically shut down most legal paths to safety. An architecture of repulsion in the air, at sea, and on land keeps most refugees far away from places where they can ask for sanctuary.
