In the 2014 CMDS annual lecture (19 November 2014), Professor Les Back and his co-researchers Shamser Sinha and Charlynne Bryan discussed how the ‘crisis of multiculturalism’ is effecting the regulation, scrutiny and surveillance of migrant communities.

Through the story of a young migrant, they explored the ways that old hierarchies of belonging are taking new forms within the social landscape of contemporary London.

This biographical case study was drawn from a larger qualitative study of 30 young adult migrants. The authors argued that the debate about population mobility needs to transcend the ‘migrancy problematic’ and instead identify how the ordering of humanity works in a globalized and neo-liberal context.

Combining insights from Stuart Hall’s recent writings and Franz Fanon’s lesser-known essays, they argued that new hierarchies of belonging are being established that replay aspects of colonial racism, but in new forms suited to London’s postcolonial landscape.
