| Sommario/riassunto: | Questions over immigration and asylum face almost all Western countries. Should only economically useful immigrants be allowed? What should be done with unwanted or 'illegal' immigrants? In this book, Alexandra Hall shows that immigration detention centres offer a window onto society's broader attitudes towards immigrants. |
