On Immigration and Refugees is one of the most eloquent and important reflections on the subject to have been published in many years. This Routledge Classics edition includes a new Foreword by Sarah Fine.
The philosopher Michael Dummett was one of the sharpest and most prominent commentators and campaigners for the fair treatment of immigrants and refugees in Britain and Europe. On Immigration and Refugees was the only book he wrote on the topic and among one of the most eloquent and important reflections on the subject to have been published in many years. Exploring the confused and often highly unjust and racist thinking about immigration, Dummett questions the principles and justifications governing state policies, pointing out that they often conflict with the rights of refugees as laid down by the Geneva Convention. With compelling and often moving examples, he points a new way forward for humane thinking and practice about a problem we cannot afford to ignore.

This Routledge Classics edition includes a new Foreword by Sarah Fine.

Sir Michael Dummett (1925–2011) was Wykeham Professor of Logic at the University of Oxford. He was knighted for his 'services to philosophy and to racial justice' in 1999. His pathbreaking books on the philosophy of language and mathematics made him one of the most significant British philosophers of the last century and he was a leading campaigner for racial tolerance and equality.
