Reviews
"While a great deal of work has been produced on illegal immigration, this publication focuses on two important and original dimensions. Imagery of immigrants structures public perceptions and political debates through its symbolic and material dimensions. Secondly, it is important to deconstruct the illegalising visual process generated by sterotypes." -- Saffia Elisa Shaukat, Journal of Ethnic & Migration Studies, 1-2 (2012)
