01 November 1991

Two new publications were launched by Refugee Forum on 23 October. The first, 'The Walls of the Fortress' describes the texts and agreements (Schengen, TREVI, the Dublin Convention etc) making up the "walls of paper" around Europe, designed to keep out immigrants, migrants and refugees, and discussed the implications for those communities and for settled Black communities in Europe. The text of the relevant documents is set out in an Appendix.

The second booklet, 'Communities of Resistance First Launch Report', is a report of the first Communities of Resistance conference held in Hackney in November 1989, and an account of the development of the Communities of Resistance Network since then.

The Forum has also re-issued the 'Communities of Resistance 1992 Information Pack', an information pack describing the effects of 1992 in all areas of life including work, social security, health, housing, voting, policing, immigration controls and fascist groups. It also includes the Migrant and Refugee European Manifesto.

The publications offer a revealing insight into the developments at the European level of measures to ensure that 'refugees and other undesirables' are kept out of Europe, and what that actually means on the ground to those affected by them.

The Walls of the Fortress: £2.50
Communities of Resistance First Launch Report: £2.00
Communities of Resistance 1992 Information Pack: £6.00.

All available from: Refugee Forum 54 Tavistock Place London WC1. Add 50p per booklet for postage and packing.

Our work is only possible with your support.
