Exclusion, failure, and the politics of citizenship

Anderson, Bridget (author.). Ryerson Centre for Immigration and Settlement, (issuing body.). Canadian Electronic Library (Firm), (distributor.).

Summary: Capitalist liberal democratic states are undergoing profound changes. Welfare states are being cut back, inequalities are widening, unemployment - or underemployment - is growing. The problem of poverty in wealthy countries is a problem that is, we are led to believe, seriously exacerbated by immigration. Immigrants are said to take jobs, thereby increasing unemployment and lowering wages, and they rely on social assistance, thereby both reducing state resources and undermining the social solidarity that redistributive mechanisms require.
