Summary: All people are equal, according to Thomas Jefferson, but all migrant s are not. In this volume, twelve eminent scholars describe and analyse how in countries such as France, the United States, Turkey, Canada, Mexico, the Netherlands, Sweden, and Denmark distinctions were made throu gh history between migrants and how these were justified in policies and public debates. The chapters form a triptych, addressing in three clu sters the problematisation of questions such as 'who is a refugee', 'who is family' and 'what is difference'. The chapters in this volume show that these are not separate issues. They intersect in ways that vary a ccording to countries of origin and settlement, economic climate, geopo litical situation, as well as by gender, and by class, ethnicity, relig ion, and sexual orientation of the migrants.
