Valeria Bello is a research fellow at the United Nations University Institute on Globalization, Culture and Mobility (UNU-GCM), Spain. She has also been the founding scientific coordinator of the UNU Migration Network from January 2013 to January 2016. Her research interests concern the role of non-state actors in the area of both migration and interethnic relations and in the fields of international relations and human security.
'Valeria Bello’s book provides an innovative approach to migration.
The focus here is on prejudice and its socio-political dangerous
consequences. In these turbulent times, a book like this one is
really timely and worth reading to overcome a rigid, xenophobic and
racist attitude towards migrants, and to develop instead a tolerant
approach based upon inter-cultural dialogue.' - Stefania
Panebianco, Università degli Studi di Catania, Italy'This is an
outstanding book about prejudice as a global security threat. The
approach in this book is very original and innovative, especially
in the light of international migratory trends and the current
securitization of migration in the International System. We need to
know much more about these phenomena – I urge all scholars of
migration to read this book. It is an excellent read!' - Christian
Kaunert, University of Dundee, UK'Bello has given a more humane
face to human migration. Her observation that securitization of
borders have not diminished illegal migration across the borders
needs to be seen from this perspective, along with the fact that
they are the victims of a system which is beyond their control.' -
