“…However, we need to understand the centrality of colonialism to understand current debates on race, asylum and immigration and to see that these are not "new" questions raised by recent migration "crises" but rather continuations of historical debates over who is a "legitimate" or "deserving" member of this welfare state. As others have done previously, we do not understand asylum as an ad-hoc reality but as part of a broader management of migration, against the background of racialised migrants being construed as a threat to post-modern Europe (Jubany 2020). One way to attend to the coloniality at the crossroads of the welfare state and the asylum system is to render visible the imperialist assumptions that underpin contemporary border politics (Rodriguez Guttierez 2018;Hernandez 2018;Walia 2021).…”

“…Despite the romanticised lens (Jubany 2020) that presents asylum as the ultimate act of generosity states offer to humanity in distress, governments in the Global North are today more concerned with security issues and migration control imperatives than with the provision of protection and refuge (Gammeltoft-Hansen and Tan 2017). Even when some shifts along the spectrum of openness/closedness of borders could be appreciated, the offer of protection has always responded to the economic, political, and ideological interests of those who hold power (Schuster 2002;Akoka 2020).…”

“…(Stoler [2002(Stoler [ ] 2010 However, detention, encampment and other glaring formulas of segregation are not the only ways to keep subject populations at bay. Indeed, the production of the "other" is also present in the obscured colonial legacy of asylum, where asylum is marketed as a universal right while denying the exclusion of former colonies and their citizens from it (Akoka 2020;Mayblin 2017;Jubany 2020). These exclusions have been explicit, through the original territorial restriction in the Geneva Convention (Mayblin 2017), or implicit in "deracialised" (Masocha 2015) bureaucratic requirements (Pallister-Wilkins 2022).…”
