'This brilliant and thought-provoking book explodes the myth of Denmark as a happy, liberal and welcoming society for migrants and refugees. Based on in-depth interviews with Syrian migrants and a variety of key interlocutors, Michelle Pace, with Sarah El-Abd, forensically exposes the tensions, illogicalities and injustices in Denmark's racist, illiberal, exclusionary and assimilationist policies towards asylum-seekers and refugees.

'This brilliant and thought-provoking book explodes the myth of Denmark as a happy, liberal and welcoming society for migrants and refugees. Based on in-depth interviews with Syrian migrants and a variety of key interlocutors, Michelle Pace, with Sarah El-Abd, forensically exposes the tensions, illogicalities and injustices in Denmark's racist, illiberal, exclusionary and assimilationist policies towards asylum-seekers and refugees. Written from the perspective of critical migration studies, Un-welcome to Denmark is a must-read for scholars, students and policy-makers.' Professor Russell King, Emeritus Professor (Geography), University of Sussex 'Michelle Pace's book Un-welcome to Denmark is a solid scientific analysis - framed through the author's very critical view on present-day Danish refugee policy. Whatever your own views, it is worth reading this book to get a nuanced grasp of the realities and the human consequences of - not least - the so called paradigm shift.' Mogens Lykketoft, , former Danish minister of foreign affairs, speaker of the Danish parliament and president of the UN General Assembly Un-welcome to Denmark critically assesses the Danish migration regime from the initial enactment of its Aliens Act in 1983 up until the 2019 paradigm shift. It does so by engaging multiple stakeholders that are impacted by the harshness of this regime's gaze and maze: Syrian refuges, welfare and civil society professionals as well as private businesses CSR and diversity managers. Presenting the theory of the unwelcome migrant co-produced with these multiple stakeholders, the book documents how Denmark's migration policies and laws produce and maintain migrants' undeservedness and how they produce anxieties across those they directly target as well as those tasked with supporting them. It reveals how the Danish migration regime is effectuated - to a significant extent - by the practices of public (municipalities) and nonstate (civil society and private) actors, complementing each others' endeavours.
