    Immigration Justice
    Peter Higgins - Hardback - Edinburgh University Press
    Much philosophical work on immigration is founded on an outdated conception of immigrants and the causes on migration. This is based on the model of the pre-World War II European migrant to North America escaping political tyranny, fleeing famine or hoping to claim 'unsettled' land. Higgins draws on empirical evidence to show that the world has changed and reasons for migration have changed too.

The Irish and Scots were among the most active and enthusiastic participants in what one contributor describes as 'the greatest single period of land theft, cultural pillage, and casual genocide in world history'.
