Abstract

SUMMARY This debate piece argues for the importance of labour internationalism and anti-imperialism in the anti-racist defence of migrants. A focus on the Sahel region shows some of the ways that core European states militarily, economically and politically undermine countries’ potential for self-determination. Border regimes, their modes of accumulation and selective labour policies expand militarism, social division and inequality between and within the regions. Challenges to these processes of global apartheid require attention to the national question and rejection of European imperialism, as indicated in recent pan-African calls for independence and popular sovereignty. This materialist analysis of migration in capitalism presents a basis for demanding equality of movement and the freedom and equality of societies facing capitalism-induced displacement.

移民，欧洲，以及非洲的政治和经济主权问题

这篇辩论文章论证了劳工国际主义和反帝国主义在反种族主义保护移民中的重要性。对萨赫勒地区的关注显示了欧洲核心国家在军事、经济和政治上削弱各国自决潜力的一些方式。边境政权及其积累模式和选择性劳工政策扩大了军国主义、社会分裂和区域之间和内部的不平等。对这些全球种族隔离进程的挑战要求注意民族问题和拒绝欧洲帝国主义，正如最近泛非洲要求独立和人民主权的呼吁所表明的那样。这种对资本主义移民的唯物主义分析提出了一个要求流动平等的基础，以及面临资本主义导致的流离失所的社会的自由和平等。
