Open Borders
Annotation European governments are inflicting ever-greater suffering on refugees and migrants, in a calculated but largely ineffective attempt to deter people seeking refuge and work. In "Open Borders," Teresa Hayter assesses the impact of the increasing severity of border controls since they were first introduced at the beginning of the twentieth century and makes the controversial case for their abolition. Hayter focuses on postwar immigration controls, especially the use of such controls against the peoples of former European colonies and East Europeans, and their effects on asylum seekers. She examines the recent history of European coordination of border controls and the notion of 'For...
The Creation of World Poverty
An assessment of the economic aid packages of Western nations and the continued poverty of Third World countries. In this new edition, which takes these issues into the 1990s, Hayter documents the history of exploitation, aiming to expose the iniquities of the capitalist economic system.

The Cultures of Economic Migration
This volume explores the processes of economic migration, the social conditions that follow it and the discourses that underlie research into it. Reflecting critically on economic migration and on the process of studying and creating knowledge about it, the contributors address the question of whether recent enquiries into modernity bring a newer and better comprehension of the nature of dislocation and movement, or whether these serve simply to replicate familiar modes of placing people and individuals. The book is organized into perspectives in and on specific continents - Europe, Asia and Africa - in order to explore notions regarding economic migration within and across regions as well as towards displacing the Eurocentrism of many studies of migration.

The Factory and the City
Concerning itself with the relationship between corporate planning and local communities who must live with the consequences of corporate decisions, this book is based on a case study of the partial closure of the Rover Group's plant at Cowley in Oxford (part of whose work is to be transferred to Honda's new, non-union plant on a green-field site at Swindon). The authors show how corporations take decisions based on private profitability which override the interests of workers and communities.

Last Curtsey
Once upon a time the well-bred daughters of Britain's aristocracy took part in a female rite of passage: curtseying to the Queen. But in 1958 this ritual was coming to an end. Under pressure to shine - not least from their mothers - the girls became the focus for newspaper diarists and society photographers in a party season that stretched for months among the great houses of England, Ireland and Scotland. Fiona MacCarthy traces the stories of the girls who curtseyed that year, and shows how their lives were to open out in often very unexpected ways - as Britain itself changed irreversibly during the 1960s, and the certainties of the old order came to an end.
