The Uninvited - Refugees At The Rich Man’s GateEditions
Review
I suppose it would be possible to attack this book as the work of a bleeding-heart liberal, but I think such an attack would have to be motivated by ideology or politics rather than the actual contents. For though it is presented as a polemic (straight into paperback, very short, provocative title, politically-minded publisher), it reads as if driven not by a political agenda but by a laudable desire to say something constructive about a difficult and pressing subject. Perhaps this just means that it’s a successful political polemic... Anyway, it strikes me as a brilliant and important book. - review by Johnny de Falbe |

Asylum-seekers from Kosovo and Kurdistan, economic migrants from Albania or sub-Saharan Africa - how should we distinguish between them when they turn up in Europe, and what should be done with them? The pressure now is as acute as during the 1930s, and shows no sign of abating, but Europe has closed its gates. Is this right, or wise? Harding has travelled widely: he has watched traffickers bringing dazed and desperate people ashore in Southern Italy, and he has been to the Spanish African enclave of Ceuta. He is historically well-informed. He has considered the migrants’ motives and options with imagination, and has done the same with Western responses.
