This Book Rethinks Meritocracy As A Form Of Coloniality, Namely, A Social Imaginary That Reproduces Narratives Of Ethnic And Racial Difference Between European Centres And Peripheries, And Between Europe And Its Others. Drawing On Interviews With Working And Middle Class, White And Black Italians Who Moved To Britain After The 2008 Economic Crisis, The Book Explores The Narratives Of Northern Meritocracy And Southern Backwardness That Inform Migrants' Motivations For Moving Abroad, And How These Narratives Are Experienced Within Classed, Racialised And Gendered Migrations. Connecting Decolonial Theory With The Sociology Of Pierre Bourdieu, This Book Provides Innovative Insights Into The Relationships Between Meritocracy, Coloniality And European Whiteness, And Into The Social Stratification Of Eu Migrations.
