Join IRIS NRC for our International Book Club with Immanuel Ness, chair of the Political Science Department at Brooklyn College. Register for the online discussion for the opportunity to hear from Dr. Ness on his new book, Migration As Economic Imperialism. The book exposes the damaging political, economic and social effects of migration on origin countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America, and how border and security mechanisms control and marginalize low-wage migrant workers. The first 25 people to register will receive a free copy of the book!
Immanuel Ness is Professor of Political Science at Brooklyn College, City University of New York and Visiting Professor of Sociology at the University of Johannesburg. A trade union organizer in the U.S. and labor activist in the Global South from 1989 to 2021, he is Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Labor and Society.
This event is co-sponsored with the Havens Wright Center for Social Justice and the Department of Geography at UW-Madison.
