EXAMINING the history of immigration legislation from 1905 onwards, law lecturer Nadine El-Enany argues in this book that immigration controls are primarily designed to “maintain Britain as a racially and colonially configured space,” where non-white people are subjected to unspecified “state racial terror.”
Extending the argument, El-Enany maintains that non-white former subjects of the empire and their
descendants have had the door shut on them by immigration controls in a way that prevents them from sharing in the wealth that colonialism helped to bring to Britain.
