'In the midst of the current clamour over Brexit, borders and Britishness, Taylor's book uses refugees as a lens to examine the broader contours, contradictions and hostilities of British society in an earlier age of mass migration, globalisation and displacement. Important, illuminating and crucial to understanding citizenship, illegalisation and multi-status Britain today.' Claire Alexander, University of Manchester
