Description
Summary:What responsibilities do citizens have to migrants and potential migrants? What responsibilities do migrants themselves have? What is the basis of those responsibilities? In this book Tisha Rajendra reframes the confused and often heated debate surrounding immigration and develops a Christian ethic that can address these neglected questions. Rajendra begins by illuminating the flawed narratives about migrants that are often used in political debates on the subject. She goes on to propose a new definition of justice that is based on responsibility to relationships, drawing on the concrete experience of migrants, ethical theory, migration theory, and the relational ethics of the Bible
The inadequacy of human rights and the preferential option for the poor -- Migration theory and migration ethics -- In search of better narratives -- Theories of justice in global perspective -- Justice as fidelity to the demands of a relationship -- Justice as responsibility to relationships -- Conclusion : the Good Samaritan revisited
