Structural Injustice and Socially Undocumented Oppression: Changing Tides in Refugee and Immigration Ethics

AbstractIn this review essay, I discuss two recent works in refugee and migration ethics, Serena Parekh ’sNo Refuge: Ethics and the Global Refugee Crisis and Amy Reed-Sandoval ’sSocially Undocumented: Identity and Immigration Justice. I find that their methodological ambitions overlap significantly and that their arguments represent welcome and largely successful examinations of generally neglected issues. I also explain how both approaches could fruitfully learn from each other, and argue that they lay pioneering groundwork for future work to continue the analysis of only nascent modes and areas of inquiry.
