Steve Cohen
This month we are highlighting Steve Cohen's collection which he deposited at the Ahmed Iqbal Ullah Race Relations Resource Centre in 2001.
Steve Cohen was a lawyer and anti deportation campaigner who dedicated his life to anti-racism and anti-Semitism, particularly the welfare of immigrants and refugees, and those seeking the right to remain in the UK.
There are links to related materials, mainly in the areas of race relations and immigration.
For more information on the Steve Cohen collection, please contact the Ahmed Iqbal Ullah Race Relations Resource Centre on 0161 275 2920. We'd like to thank Julie Devonald of the Ahmed Iqbal Ullah Race Relations Resource Centre, who wrote the text for this month's description.

of course, the reason that the british can take their free movement for granted but deny reciprocity is that they ignore history. it is not simply that immigration controls are racist, it is rather that the european colonial legacy (of which the idea of state and nation are one aspect) is a world that is at every level stratified into different classes of humanity. the immigration system is a zone of exceptionality, where the normal laws and rights of citizens are suspended, to separate the qualified persons from the bare life of the excluded.
