38. Is there a link between colonialism, asylum and Brexit?

What role does colonialism play in contemporary asylum and migration politics? Do European asylum and migration policies reflect colonial power relations, or is colonialism something that exits in the past whilst different logics govern contemporary migration policies? And can the link between colonialism and asylum and migration even tell us something about Brexit? In this episode: Lucy Mayblin, Senior Leturer in Sociology at the University of Sheffield. This episode is particularly focused on Mayblin's book Asylum After Empire: Colonial Legacies in the Politics of Asylum Seeking. Gurminder Bhambra, Professor of Postcolonial and Decolonial Studies in the Department of International Relations, University of Sussex.
