Tying this to the existing literature on t he ethics of migration, she explains how the restrictions faced by Black South Africans and rural Chinese migrants can be usefully conceptualize d as (a) restrictions on travel, (b) restrictions on residency-related r ights, and (c) restrictions on one’s ability to be fully recognize d as a member of the territory in question. Lim argues that despite the severe social inequalities that these restrictions have exacerbated, cer tain restrictions on movement can not only be legitimate, but perhaps al so necessary. As a contrast case, she elaborates on the example of Singa pore’s use of racial quotas in its public housing system and how i t has served as a powerful tool against racial segregation.
