While we must do everything we can to mitigate the impact of climate change, the brutal truth is that huge swathes of the world are becoming uninhabitable.

The vital message of this book is that migration is not the problem - it''s the solution. Drawing on a wealth of eye-opening data and original reporting, Vince shows how migration brings benefits not only to migrants themselves, but to host countries, many of which face demographic crises and labour shortages.

This isn't a distant or unrealistic prospect: climate models suggest we're currently heading towards a 3°C-4°C rise by the end of the century - less than three generations away. In this rigorously researched, accessibly written and illuminating book, Vince examines what these changes will entail and how we should respond, ending with an eight-point 'manifesto' to guide us.

Poets, novelists and writers have once again collaborated with people who have experienced detention, their tales appearing alongside first-hand accounts by people who themselves have been detained.

For the people behind the doors, these uninvited guests were always strangers, and strangers tend to generate fear and anxiety precisely because they are unknown. Today we find ourselves confronted with an extreme form of this historical dynamic, as our TV screens and newspapers are filled with accounts of a 'migration crisis', ostensibly overwhelming Europe and portending the collapse of our way of life. This anxious debate has given rise to a veritable 'moral panic' - a feeling of fear spreading among a large number of people that some evil threatens the well-being of society. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this short book Zygmunt Bauman analyses the origins, contours and impact of this moral panic - he dissects, in short, the present-day migration panic. He shows how politicians have exploited fears and anxieties that have become widespread, especially among those who have already lost so much - the disinherited and the poor. But he argues that the policy of mutual separation, of building walls rather than bridges, is misguided. It may bring some short-term reassurance but it is doomed to fail in the long run. We are faced with a crisis of humanity, and the only exit from this crisis is to recognize our growing interdependence as a species and to find new ways to live together in solidarity and cooperation, amidst strangers who may hold opinions and preferences different from our own.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Strangers at Our Door puts forward an alternative narrative, one that is humanitarian, about refugees and migrants.

Maria Holt uses her research gathered in the Palestinian refugee camps of Lebanon and in the West Bank to look at the forms and effects of violence suffered by women in the context of the wider conflict around them. After the creation of the State of Israel in 1948, Palestinian refugees fled over the border into Lebanon, and in the wake of tumult in other host states, such as Jordan, many more sought refuge there. Today more than 400,000 Palestinians reside in Lebanon, and the theme of violence is one that informs their daily life. Holt explores these varying forms of violence, including physical personal violence and the violence of war as well as the more symbolic violence of the disintegration of daily life and erasure of homeland, furthermore highlighting ongoing exclusion and isolation Palestinians are subjected to by the Lebanese state.  Nevertheless, this condition of being - but not belonging - in Lebanon has influenced refugees' perceptions of themselves. Holt therefore analyses the daily life of Palestinians, recognising the unique community that has emerged in response to exile. In an atmosphere of violence, these refugees find coping mechanisms and appropriate strategies to counter the pressures of conflict. Adherence to religious belief and valued traditional practices, as well as involvement in political and welfare activities and, on occasion, militant activism, are some of the methods employed by women. With its systematic examination of forms of violence as well as an appreciation of daily life in the refugee camps, Women and Conflict in the Middle East makes essential reading for students of the Israel-Palestine conflict as well as those interested in the gender dimension of violence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1: Introduction: The Palestine of our Imagination Chapter 2: The Intimate History of Violence Chapter 3: ‘Violated Spaces’: Palestinian Women and the Politics of Place Chapter 4: ‘She Still Has the Key’: The Multiple Violence of Exile Chapter 5: War and ‘Uncivil Violence’ in Lebanon Chapter 6: The Politics of Forgetting Chapter 7: Conclusion: Counter-narratives of Resistance","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48868199203159,"sku":"9781780761015","price":999.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}]},{"product_id":"a-practical-guide-to-therapeutic-work-with-asylum-seekers-and-refugees-9781785920738","title":"A Practical Guide to Therapeutic Work with Asylum","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe need to support refugees has never been more urgent, but how can everyone working with them provide consistently effective care?

One boy's experience is the central story of our times.

The tipping point came in August 2017, when almost 700,000 were wrung from Myanmar in a single military operation. There are now very few members of this Muslim minority left in the country. Instead, they live mostly in Bangladesh's refugee camps; or precariously in Malaysia, India, Saudi Arabia and scatterings elsewhere. With the Rohingya almost entirely in exile, 'I Feel No Peace' is the first book-length exploration of what their existence abroad looks like. Journalist Kaamil Ahmed draws on hundreds of hours of interviews, and on relationships that he has built over years with Rohingya in Bangladesh, Malaysia, Thailand and throughout the diaspora. He speaks to families who have had their children snatched, and people kidnapped to feed a system of human trafficking that is nourished by the community's suffering. Among the most disturbing and under-reported of his revelations is the complicit role of the UN and NGOs in the plight of the Rohingya. But Ahmed also describes stories of resilience and hope, painting a nuanced picture of how a scattered community survives. The characters of 'I Feel No Peace' are complex, heart-breaking and unforgettable.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'As Mr. Ahmed observes with heart-rending eloquence, the Rohingya have been, since 1982, a species of non-people in Myanmar … To read Mr. Ahmed’s invaluable book is to become overwhelmed with dread for the Rohingya.' -- The Wall Street Journal\u003cbr\u003e'['I Feel No Peace'] is effective at placing the recent exodus of Rohingya in its historical position: as something that had happened multiple times before, and will likely happen again.

Words are no longer at her beck and call, old friends won't mind their own business and workmen have appeared in the neighbouring fields, preparing to obliterate the landscape she has known all her life. Rattling around in an old farmhouse on the cliffs, she's beginning to run out of excuses to stop do-gooders interfering when one day she finds an uninvited guest in the barn and is thrown back into the past. Jonah has finally made it to England - where everything, he's been told, will be better. But the journey was fraught with danger, and many of his fellow travellers didn't make it. Sights firmly set on London, but unsure which way to turn, he is unprepared for what happens when he breaks into Edie's barn. Haunted by the prospect of being locked away and unable to trust anyone else, the elderly woman stubbornly battling dementia and the traumatised illegal immigrant find solace in an unlikely companionship that helps them make sense of their worlds even as they struggle to understand each other.

(Lucy Caldwell, author of These Days); 'An extraordinary feat of empathic imagination… The writing is stunning, capturing realities where language itself is the enemy, and words shimmy and dance around. This is a novel which is both about, and brimming with, humanity.' (Maggie Brookes, author of Acts of Love and War); 'Crossing Over is a heart-rending, powerful novel… In inventive prose, Morgan tells the story of these two lost souls, both trapped and traumatised by the past, with immense compassion and wit; their singular, arresting voices shine with humour and sorrow, but above all, humanity. It is at times a distressing read – as it should be – but it is also rewarding, surprisingly funny and wholly unforgettable.' (Nikki Marmery, author of On Wilder Seas); 'Crossing Over is an immensely ambitious novel… It masterfully explores the lives of two characters whose fates are balanced on a knife edge, for whom not even language is a given, both of whom are living on borrowed time. In its twists and turns, it constantly subverts expectations, never allowing itself to reach for the easy solution… From the clifftops of Kent to a village in Malawi, from the beaches of Dunkirk to wartime London, the novel’s range is as wide as its heart.'
