The linkage between race and migration, especially in the UK since the 1990s, has shifted from a focus on postcolonial migrants to focus on newer groups, while migration within the European Union has also altered the discussion of racism and migration. This critical review provides a framework for understanding how race is conceptualized (or ignored) in contemporary scholarship on migration. We identify three, partly overlapping nexi between migration and racialization: (1) Changing Migrations - Continuities of Racism'; (2) Complex Migrations - Differentialist Racialization'; (3) Post-racial Migrations - Beyond Racism'. The article analyses what each of these nexi bring into focus as well as what they neglect. The concept of race-migration nexus aids a fuller understanding of how migration and contemporary racialization are co-constructed. Scholars need to consider the relationship between migration and race to better address pressing issues of racism against migrants and settled communities.
