"Manineti and Marsham Street" - An investigation into belonging and inclusion amongst Ethiopian migrants in the United Kingdom

在英国，归属和接受的问题已经成为一个日益政治化的舞台，最终导致实施高度排他性的政策，以进一步划定那些属于和不属于的人。自2010年以来，英国政府决定在敌对环境下实施政策，这对移民和移民社区在英国社会中占据空间的能力构成了挑战。这些政策被设想为阻止不受欢迎的移民的工具，但却对移民产生了限制性和歧视性的做法，最近的证据包括驱逐“风吹一代”（Windrush Generation）的个人、撤销公民身份的稳步增加、持续的驱逐航班，以及让那些被视为非法和不受欢迎的人在英国的生活尽可能难以忍受。了解国家移民政策在塑造移民的空间感和社会归属感方面的影响（如果有的话），是一个与英国和国际当前动态相关的问题。通过对移民政策及其与近期定居移民的国内经验的交集的分析，我将试图了解限制性敌对移民政策是否以及如何影响了埃塞俄比亚移民在英国的认同感和归属感。随着移民政策变得更加排他性和限制性，了解这种趋势如何影响移民对社会归属感的看法，对我们理解自我和身份认同非常重要。这项研究将试图观察英国一个经常被研究的人群——埃塞俄比亚人——并试图在不断变化的政策立场下欣赏个人对归属感和包容性的看法。通过研究埃塞俄比亚移民在英国的移民和定居的生活经历，本研究将着眼于如何在不同的立场上导航英国的移民制度对这一移民群体的融合和归属感产生了影响。

The question of belonging and acceptance in the United Kingdom has become an increasingly politicised arena culminating in the implementation of highly exclusionary policies to further delineate those who belong and those who do not. Since 2010, the UK Government's decision to invoke policies under the hostile environment have worked to challenge the ability of migrants and migrant communities to take up space in British society. These policies, envisioned as a tool of deterring unwanted migration, have produced restrictive and discriminative approaches towards migrants evidenced recently through the expulsion of individuals of the Windrush Generation, the steady increase in revoking citizenship, continued deportation flights and the drive to make life in the UK as unbearable as possible for those deemed illegitimate and unwelcome.Understanding the effect, if any, national immigration policies have in shaping a migrant's sense of space and belonging in society is a question relevant to current dynamics in the UK and internationally. Through an analysis of migration policy and its intersection with the in-country experience of recent and settled migrants, I will attempt to understand if and how restrictive hostile migration policies have impacted Ethiopian migrant's sense of identity and belonging within the UK. As immigration policy becomes more exclusionary and limiting, appreciating how this trend impacts on the migrant's perception of belonging in society is important to our understanding of self and identity.This research will attempt to look at an often under researched population in the UK - Ethiopians - and attempt to appreciate the individual's perspective of belonging and inclusion under shifting policy stances. By researching the lived experiences of migration and settlement in the UK for Ethiopian migrants - this research will look at how navigating the immigration system in the UK at various standpoints has impacted on the integration and sense of belonging for this migrant group.
