* Apologies for any cross-posting *
Dear colleagues,
I'm producing a pamphlet in an effort to introduce the material in my book, 'Refugees, Capitalism and the British State' (Ashgate 2012), to a wider audience. The pamphlet will be available free online and in a printed format for sale at between £1 and £2. My university (Northumbria) are financing an initial small print run, and if there is sufficient demand the income from sales will finance further print runs.
I've posted a draft text for the pamphlet online at http://refugeescapitalismstate.wordpress.com/the-pamphlet/ and would welcome comments, particularly from practitioners, volunteers, activists or others outside academia who are engaged in work aimed at improving the situation of refugees. It is available either in small sections on the website, where you can post comments, or as a single printable PDF. My hope is that by making the draft text public and available for discussion at this stage, I will end up with something that is of greater relevance to potential users of the pamphlet.
Any comments would be very welcome, and if you could forward the link to others you think may be interested that would be greatly appreciated.
Best wishes,
Tom Vickers
