Taylor & Francis Ltd Refugees in Extended Exile Living on the Edge
Book SynopsisThis book argues that the international refugee regime and its âtemporaryâ humanitarian interventions have failed. Most refugees across the global live in âprotractedâ conditions that extend from years to decades, without legal status that allows them to work and establish a home. It is contended that they become largely invisible to people based in the global North, and cease to remain fully human subjects with access to their political lives. Shifting the conversation away from the salient discourse of âsolutionsâ and technical fixes within state-centric international relations, the authors recover the subjectivity lost for those stuck in extended exile. The book first argues that humanitarian assistance to refugees remains vital to peopleâs survival, even after the emergency phase is over. It then connects asylum politics in the global North with the intransigence of extended exile in the global South. By placing the urgent crises of protracted exile within a broader constellation of power relations, both historical and geographical, the authors present research and empirical findings gleaned from refugees in Iran, Kenya and Canada and from humanitarian and government workers. Each chapter reveals patterns of power circulating through the âcolonial presentâ, Cold War legacies, and the global âwar on terror. Seeking to render legible the more quotidian struggles and livelihoods of people who find themselves defined as refugees, this book will be of great interest to international humanitarian agencies, as well as migration and refugee researchers, including scholars in refugee studies and human displacement, human security, globalization, immigration, and human rights. Trade Review'The plight of refugees has attracted unusual political attention since the accelerated flow into Europe of people fleeing acute threats in the Middle East. But this focus ignores the larger, endemic failure to address global refugee needs that are of long standing, a critical element of the "crisis". Extended Exile is the corrective to the myopic current focus. It addresses critical issues about the current refugee situation with scholarly acumen and empirical depth. The book uses the academic literature to probe the paradox of solutions that perpetuate failure, and protection that denudes very large groups of people of rights. For advocates interested in the practical challenges of enhancing the rights of communities trapped for generations in camps like Dadaab and Kakuma, this book provides a masterful exploration of the policy and conceptual context. For scholars engaged with explorations of the role of mobility in the contemporary global sphere, this book provides compelling evidence of the considerable challenges ahead. This book is an invaluable source of information and ideas for anyone concerned with refugee and migration issues'. - Jacqueline Bhabha, Harvard University, USA'Refugees in Extended Exile is a classic: bold and convincing, it makes visible the invisible refugees living in long-term displacement in camps in the global south. Hyndman and Giles, ask pertinent and probing questions about the plight and future of the refugees living on the edge of everyday politics and decisions: how did the millions of refugees in the global south end up living for many years in exile, become marginalised, invisible, and without any permanent legal status? How do they survive and surmount the struggles of everyday life in the spaces of the camp for such long indefinite futures? How come that only less than 1 percent of refugees worldwide are allowed to leave the camps in the global south and resettle in the richer and developed countries of the global north? How can existing legal, political, and institutional frameworks be re-imagined in ways that allow engendering different futures, politics, and policies that embrace refugees as fellow human beings? These and other questions make Refugees in Extended Exile urgent, absorbing, and indispensable reading for anyone who wishes to understand how refugees end up in camps for years if not decades without any permanent solution to their plight and wants to see action taken to end this inhuman and degrading treatment meted out on fellow human beings.' - Zachary Lomo, St Augustine International University, UgandaTable of ContentsPreface AcknowledgementsChapter 1 Introduction: Invisible lives and silent disasters Chapter 2 Securitization versus Protection in a Refugee Camp Chapter 3 Contextualizing Indefinite Exile Chapter 4 States of Emergency?

Taylor & Francis Ltd The City as Target
Book SynopsisBringing together scholars from a diverse range of disciplines, The City as Target provides a sustained and critical response to the relationship between the concept of targeting (in its many forms) and notions of understanding, imagining and shaping the urban. Among the many spatial and graphic terms used to describe cities in urban studies, the word target is rarely encountered. Though equally spatial, it differs from these others by implying some motive force, and, more than that, a force with some intentionality. To target is to aim, to project, and ultimately to impact. It suggests a space of violence, or at least action, or movement resulting in displacement, which most other terms do not. In that sense it is useful, underused, and perhaps revelatory. Rather than approach the city as simply a site of growth, processes, and developments, the contributors to this volume treat it as the recipient of attentions. The work draws on a wide variety of geographicTable of Contents1.

Cambridge University Press The Sociolinguistics of Globalization
Book SynopsisHuman language has changed in the age of globalization: no longer tied to stable and resident communities, it moves across the globe, and it changes in the process. In this book Jan Blommaert constructs a theory of changing language in a changing society.Trade Review'Theoretically bold, clearly written, and politically engaged. The arguments are illustrated with a host of ingenious examples, drawn from many parts of the world.' James Collins, University at Albany, State University of New York'We need a new sociolinguistics in the era of globalization. Jan Blommaert leads the way in developing the critical perspectives we now need to understand the global mobility of people and discourses, and new global sociolinguistic inequalities. His book is provocative, transformative and inspiring.' Nikolas Coupland, Centre for Language and Communication Research, Cardiff University'[The] Sociolinguistics of Globalization is a wonderful addition to the changing field of sociolinguistics, and a must for any serious student of sociolinguistics. It should be clear that the research methodology presented therein is inspiring, and the need for further application is apparent.' The Linguist List'Although it is a fairly slim book, it is packed with illustrative material from a wide range of sources.'
