Sommario/riassunto

Bringing together the latest research from scholars in the UK, Europe and Australia, Dangerous Others, Insecure Societies engages with



diverse issues surrounding migration, authoritarianism and social exclusion to consider the implications of a culture of fear and exclusion for multicultural, globalized, networked societies. As such, it will appeal to sociologists, geographers, social anthropologists and political scientists concerned with questions of identity, citizenship, exclusion and belonging.
