Ten pointers towards an alternative narrative on migration

How do we speak about immigration in a context of growing polarisation? What can we say to prevent far-right assumptions from hijacking the discourse? How do we move past arguments that merely react to events? How do we explain the complexity of migration without getting lost along the way? Offering ten “pointers”, based on ten statements, this Nota Internacional tackles all these questions. While it offers no recipes, it does gather reflections, highlight dilemmas and point to possible alternatives. And all with the goal of thinking together about an issue as fundamental – for everyone and for our democracies – as the way in which we wish to continue talking about immigration.

Abstract

How do we speak about immigration in a context of growing polarisation? What can we say to prevent far-right assumptions from hijacking the discourse? How do we move past arguments that merely react to events? How do we explain the complexity of migration without getting lost along the way? Offering ten “pointers”, based on ten statements, this Nota Internacional tackles all these questions. While it offers no recipes, it does gather reflections, highlight dilemmas and point to possible alternatives. And all with the goal of thinking together about an issue as fundamental – for everyone and for our democracies – as the way in which we wish to continue talking about immigration.
