The case of Shamima Begum, the nineteen year-old who ran away to Syria from her home in East London in 2015, is now well known. Yet, the most striking thing about it is not the enactment of the deprivation of her citizenship but the scale of media attention it has received. In this essay, Nisha Kapoor puts the actions of the British state against Begum in its political and historical context.

Featuring books on migration, identity politics, the rise of right-wing populism and the struggles of 1968.

Nisha Kapoor discusses Islamophobia, the War on Terror, the adoption of counterinsurgency tactics in the UK, and the government's 'Prevent' counter-terrorism programme and its effects on Britain's Muslim population, with Alex Doherty on the Politics Theory Other podcast

In addition to the newfound sympathy for the Windrush generation, we should remember that ‘illegal immigrants’ are our kin, especially if we are to challenge the racism at the heart of the ‘hostile environment’.

After the 2016 Brexit vote, the Guardian published a slew of articles about hard-working, white, tax-paying EU citizens threatened with deportation–yet nowhere mentioned Britain's existing deportation regime. Luke de Noronha asks what this says about race and class in Britain.

Nisha Kapoor considers the significance of the womens strike in the context of rising Islamophobia and the increased securitisation of muslim women lives, calling for an end to Prevent and the criminalisation of Muslim, refugee, migrant and black women.

The hunger strikes at Yarl’s Wood are part of a tradition whose ongoing necessity shames us all.

Whether non-citizens are entitled to the basic goods and services necessary to live a dignified life raises an urgent question about what kind of society we want to live in.
