Good review for Katy Long
22 Jul 2015
Katy Long’s Kindle Single The Huddled Masses: Immigration and Inequality has received an excellent review in the latest issue of International Socialism.
“Part of an anti-racist project is to address this confusion by exposing the lies and providing a facts-based truth. Long’s book helps us do this. It is a short, accessible and useful resource, discussing many of the key issues concerning immigration and more generally providing excellent data with which to undermine racist interpretations of immigration. Though primarily focused on the UK, the book provides valuable insights into general worldwide trends and issues… Long’s book is a valuable resource for anti-racists and I would urge people to buy it.”
