I have just been notified as BASAJISC Moderator of Richard Price becoming a
member of BASAJISC, but not received the postng Marika comments on. I will
be emailing him to raise the question of why BASA was not consulted about
this initiative, and to point out that for people not associated with
Universities it is difficult to actually register.
As far as immigration is concerned this is part of the history Marika talks
about; it is the changing historical attitudes to immigration that has
fuelled debates about racism and social exclusion. The likely increasing
racism and xenephobia in the immigration debate leading up to the General
Election has to be countered. One way is through the historicla work of
BASA.
