We are really interested to hear your thoughts on how the discourse around migration escalates in mainstream politics, your communities, and your lived experience.

Be part of this discussion.

For this issue, we particularly encourage contributions from people who have experienced migration, or who are perceived as such by society. However, we are also keen to feature texts from other working class and poor people.

Migrants and people whom society assumes to be such are too often seen and discussed as a problem by different actors from across the political spectrum. They are talked over rather than talked with. They are stereotyped and vilified, sometimes fetishized — and their voices are often ignored.

The exclusion of migrant voices creates a blindspot in class analysis and is an obstacle to developing theories and practices in class struggle that are fit for the 21st century and that would be relevant and based in actual reality for as wide a part of the population as possible.
