Abstract

Abstract In many recent debates on the political theory of immigration, conflicts between immigrants and citizens of host societies are explored along identity lines. In this essay, I defend the relevance of social class. I focus on two types of conflict—distributive and cultural—and show how class boundaries play a crucial role in each. In contrast to both defenders and critics of freedom of movement, I argue that borders have always been (and will continue to be) open for some and closed for others. The same applies to barriers on integration and civic participation. It is time to revive the connection between immigration and social class and to start carving political solutions that begin with the recognition of class injustice as a fundamental democratic concern.
阶级边界:资本主义国家的移民和公民身份
在最近关于移民政治理论的许多辩论中,移民与东道国公民之间的冲突沿着身份线进行了探讨。在这篇文章中,我为社会阶级的相关性辩护。我着重讨论了两种类型的冲突——分配冲突和文化冲突,并展示了阶级界限如何在这两种冲突中发挥关键作用。与行动自由的捍卫者和批评者相比,我认为边界一直(并将继续)对一些人开放,对另一些人关闭。这同样适用于阻碍融合和公民参与的障碍。现在是时候恢复移民和社会阶层之间的联系,并开始制定政治解决方案,首先承认阶级不公正是一个基本的民主问题。
