Together with law and law enforcement, borders create residents and foreigners. The law ascertains who crosses borders and who does not, and determines who remains foreign despite being within national borders. \u003ci\u003eMigrating Borders and Citizenship in Law\u003c\/i\u003e argues that law has multiple roles and mechanisms for breathing life into borders, operating at different locales and scales (from worldwide to the nation, and from the family to the workplace), and through different practices, including preventing entry and withholding access to resources. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This book examines case law, legislation, and press accounts relating to several key events in recent times that have changed the legal landscape on migration control, such as the Immigration and Nationality Acts in the United Kingdom, the end of the empire, the arrival of Empire Windrush, Brexit, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the case of Shamima Begum. Focusing on race and ethnicity, gender, and class, as well as crime and control, \u003ci\u003e Migrating Borders and Citizenship in Law \u003c\/i\u003econtextualizes the legal debates around these historical and political developments, the question of who belongs, the consequences of behavior for immigration status and citizenship, and the links with conduct and national security. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Devyani Prabhat\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1911507494\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781911507499\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of London Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/16\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 254\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Devyani Prabhat","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47579544748287,"sku":"9781911507499","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_04f79730-b5fb-4603-8d2a-13f60424d303.jpg?v=1763874931","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/migrating-borders-and-citizenship-in-devyani-prabhat-9781911507499","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
