Our next seminar is on MONDAY NOVEMBER 25th:
BORDERLINE EUROPE: THE POLITICS OF THE NEW MIGRATION
Goods and money can move easily in free markets, but not people.
Would-be migrants face terrible hardship as they travel from country to
country, and often a hostile reception by citizens of their destination
country. Why do people migrate? What is the impact on the countries
they leave? Who benefits from migration?
Speakers opening the seminar will be:
DON FLYNN, co-ordinator of the Immigration Rights Project
JEREMY SEABROOK author of The No-Nonsense Guide to Class, Caste &
Hierarchies
The Union Tavern, 52 Lloyd Baker Street, London WC1 at 7.30pm. 10 minutes
walk from Kings Cross. Free (suggested donation of £2 if waged). No need to
book in advance, although please check before bringing a large party.
