Associate Professor Steven Loyal (UCD Sociology) has published a new book "State Power and Asylum Seekers in Ireland" The book will be launched on the 5th of September at 5pm in the UCD Common Room, B104, Newman Building, UCD. Everybody is welcome.
This book aims to account for the reception, treatment and sometimes, eventual deportation, of asylum seekers in Ireland, by analysing how they are framed and dealt with by the Irish state. Both historically and theoretically grounded, it will discuss contemporary immigration policies and issues in light of the overall social, historical, and economic development of Irish society and state immigration policy. State Power and Asylum Seekers in Ireland will be of interest to scholars and students in the fields of historical sociology, sociological theory and social policy, with a focus on discourses of patterns of European migration, the changing role and function of the state and its policies, and the psycho-social experience of asylum seekers.
