Valeria Bello is a research fellow at the United Nations University Institute on Globalization, Culture and Mobility (UNU-GCM), Spain. She has also been the founding scientific coordinator of the UNU Migration Network from January 2013 to January 2016. Her research interests concern the role of non-state actors in the area of both migration and interethnic relations and in the fields of international relations and human security.

'Valeria Bello’s book provides an innovative approach to migration. The focus here is on prejudice and its socio-political dangerous consequences. In these turbulent times, a book like this one is really timely and worth reading to overcome a rigid, xenophobic and racist attitude towards migrants, and to develop instead a tolerant approach based upon inter-cultural dialogue.' - Stefania Panebianco, Università degli Studi di Catania, Italy'This is an outstanding book about prejudice as a global security threat. The approach in this book is very original and innovative, especially in the light of international migratory trends and the current securitization of migration in the International System. We need to know much more about these phenomena – I urge all scholars of migration to read this book. It is an excellent read!' - Christian Kaunert, University of Dundee, UK'Bello has given a more humane face to human migration. Her observation that securitization of borders have not diminished illegal migration across the borders needs to be seen from this perspective, along with the fact that they are the victims of a system which is beyond their control.' - Global Research Forum on Diaspora and Transnationalism (GRFDT)
