Go home?

<p>In July 2013 the UK government arranged for a van to drive through parts of London carrying the message 'In the UK illegally? GO HOME or face arrest.' This book tells the story of what happened next.<br><br> The vans were short-lived but they were part of an ongoing trend in government-sponsored communication designed to demonstrate toughness on immigration. The authors set out to explore the effects of such performances: on policy on public debate on pro-migrant and anti-racist activism and on the everyday lives of people in Britain. This book presents their findings and provides insights into the practice of conducting research on such a charged and sensitive topic.<br><br>An electronic edition of this book is freely available under a Creative Commons (CC BY-NC-ND) licence.</p>
