In this episode of States and Migration in Europe, host Dr Emmanuel Comte sits down with Professor Randall Hansen, author of the recent book War, Work, and Want: How the OPEC Oil Crisis Caused Mass Migration and Revolution (OUP, 2023), to unravel the layers of anti-immigration riots in the UK, including the intense unrest of last summer. Through a historical lens, they explore the roots of anti-immigrant sentiments and discuss whether Britain has a unique approach to immigration. Using examples from the past, they also delve into the question of racism—whether it is a cause of these conflicts or a symptom of deeper issues.
