Myslinska, D. R. (2024) Law, Migration, and the Construction of Whiteness: Mobility Within the European Union
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Myslinska’s Law, Migration, and the Construction of Whiteness is an important contribution to critical whiteness studies. Focusing on the EU’s commitment to freedom of movement, Myslinska illustrates how Central Eastern European (CEE) migrants are devalued, disempowered and discriminated against by the EU. Using a critical legal methodology, this book adds an important legal weight to growing discussions on this racialisation of CEE migrants. While there may be space in this field to also discuss how CEE are recalcitrant and resistant to these processes, this book provides a robust foundation for further research.
