      abstract = {This book analyses politics, practices, and discourses of  welfare racism against immigrants under neoliberalism. As  an instrument of selection, exclusion, exploitation, and  stigmatisation, welfare racism is a distinguishing feature  of anti-immigrant racism which has gained new momentum over  the last decades. The strength and persistence of this form  of racism are linked to several factors, including the  colonial roots of the welfare state, racisms structural  position in modern society, the intrinsic limits of social  rights in capitalism, and migration policies that are  almost always punitive in nature. Rich in documents and  historical perspective, this book presents a global  analysis of racism within and in the name of the welfare  state. It examines discriminatory laws, measures, and  practices by state actors and discourses by public figures  and organizations, demonstrating the ways these  developments are related to the dismantling of the welfare  state in the neoliberal era, and to the war on labour and  social rights. Integrating perspectives from Belgium,  Brazil, Germany, Hungary, Israel, Italy, Japan, Spain,  Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the United States, Perocco  highlights welfare racism as a global and structured  phenomenon producing inequalities and concerning labour as  a whole. Fabio Perocco is Associate Professor of Sociology  at the University of Venice, Italy.},
