Sommario/riassunto

The book analyses how the immigrant was institutionalised as an existential threat to the European Union, especially since the 1990's. In addition to legislation and security measures, such as border control and visas, the book focuses on political discourses that identify immigration as a problem security, with campaigns by extremist parties and cases of racism against Muslims and individuals of Roman origin in the EU. It shows how this process is linked to the resistance of the Nation State as a place of political identity and condition of citizenship.
