Europa panikker over byernes forladte zoner
Ghettodebatten handler måske ikke så meget om konkrete sociale problemer, som om vidtrækkende post-koloniale temaer. Det er selve den europæiske nationalstats eksistens, der er på spil, når migration forandrer byens rum, mener forsker Nicholas De Genova, der gæster Københavns Universitet i denne uge.

Invandring er som en farlig gift
Denhyggelige humanist Habermas og den fæle forstokkede Fukuyama trækker begge på gammelkoloniale forestillinger om en Tredje Verdens underklasse, der kun kan kontrolleres med repressive midler, skriver den amerikanske antropolog Nicolas de Genova. Han mener, der løber en racistisk understrøm i det europiske identitetsprojekt på tværs af traditionelle skel mellem 'progressiv' og 'reaktionær'.

En illegal invandrer bliver til
Naoufal smiler til vagterne, der ikke ved, at han burde sidde derinde i interneringscenteret, ikke stå herude og tage billender. 'Spektakulære' interneringer og deportationer af migranter har ifølge antropologen Nicolas De Genova altid forløbet parallelt med en mere stilfærdig import af billig arbejdskraft til de rige lande.
