Dear colleagues,

My first book is about to be published, titled 'Refugees, Capitalism and the British State: Implications for social workers, volunteers and activists'. I thought it might interest you, and/or be of relevance to your students. I have attached a flier giving a 20% price reduction, and there is a link below if you would like to request a Review copy from the publisher. If you know colleagues who may be interested please do pass this on.

Endorsements for the book:

‘This is an informed and trenchant analysis of the role of the British state in shaping the experiences of refugees. Drawing on detailed new research and theoretical reflection it is indispensable reading for those interested in a deeper understanding of the changing position of refugees in contemporary societies.’
Professor John Solomos, City University London, UK

'Vickers has written a stimulating book, casting a Marxist lens on the policies with which the British state has sought to control and contain the demands of asylum seekers. Vickers' original research highlights the strengths and dignity within which asylum seekers and refugees seek to resist their subjugation as unpaid voluntary workers or marginalised low-paid labour and carve out a life in a society that cares little for them. Their capacity to look after each other stands in impressive contrast to the state's indifference. This is a book all anti-racist practitioners and students ought to read.'
Professor Lena Dominelli, The University of Durham, UK

‘Vickers' book makes an original, stimulating and thoughtful contribution, applying a familiar analysis in a new context. What marks this out from other literature regarding refugees and immigration more generally, is his use of Marxist theory to situate the discussion. Illuminated by rich local case material, this will be thought-provoking for a wide range of professional workers, not just advocates for refugees.’
Professor Gary Craig, Wilberforce Institute, UK
