Transcript Verlag Embodied Violence and Agency in Refugee Regimes:
Book SynopsisMultiple refugee regimes govern the lives of forced migrants simultaneously but in an often conflicting way. As a mechanism of inclusion/exclusion, they tend to engender the violence they sought to dissipate. Protection and control channel agency through mechanisms of either tutelage and victimisation or criminalisation. This book contrasts multiple groups of refugees and refugee regimes, revealing the inherent coercive violence of refugee regimes, from displacement and expulsion, to stereotypification and exclusion in host countries, and academic knowledge essentialisation. This violence is international, national, society-based, internalised, and embodied - and it urgently needs due scholarly attention.

Transcript Verlag From Shelters to Dwellings – The Dismantling and
Book SynopsisIn Zaatari camp, Jordan, thousands of Syrian refugees were sheltered in tents and caravans, which they steadily appropriated and turned into dwellings that responded to their social and cultural needs. In this book, Ayham Dalal takes a closer look at this remarkable transformation. He draws on the tension between 'the shelter' and 'the dwelling' to unravel how new spaces unfold in between them, where refugees become architects and the camp is dismantled and reassembled. From Shelters to Dwellings is the first study to uniquely combine ethnographic observations with new architectural research methods, to illustrate in detail how refugees inhabit shelters. It is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding how camps and shelters are transformed by the powerful act of dwelling.

Transcript Verlag Internment Refugee Camps: Historical and
Book SynopsisHow did and does the fate of refugees unfold in internment camps? The contributors facilitate an extensive engagement with the organized, state led, and forced placement of refugees in the past and present.

Transcript Verlag Living in Refuge: Ritualization and Religiosity
Book SynopsisThis comparative ethnography of a Muslim and a Christian Palestinian refugee camp in Lebanon focuses on contrasting social belonging processes through a ritualization approach. Leonardo Schiocchet argues that contrasts emerge out of the intersectionality of religiosity, nationhood, refugeeness and politics, and synthesizes academic research on piety and moral self-cultivation and on the everyday life of religious communities. He contributes to the literature on refugees at large, and Palestinian refugees in particular, with the unique dense socio-historical portrait of two refugee camps for which there is almost no recorded literature.Table of ContentsIntroduction; A Disposition toward Suspicion; Settling in Lebanon: An Oral Historical Account; Ritual Tempo in Al-Jalil; Ritual Tempo in Dbayeh; On Ritual, Religion, and Time; Al-ṣumūd: Sacralization and Ritualization of Palestinianness; Economies of Trust; Conclusion; References; Index.

Transcript Verlag Academics in Exile: Networks, Knowledge Exchange
Book SynopsisRestrictions on academic freedom, persecution and armed conflict have forced many scholars into exile. So far, the professional trajectories of these scholars and their contributions to knowledge exchange have not been studied comprehensively. The contributors to this volume address the situations and networks of scholars in exile, the challenges they face in their host countries and the opportunities they use. These issues are highly relevant to discussions about the moral economies of higher education institutions and support programs. Although the contributions largely focus on Germany as a host country, they also offer telling examples of forced mobility in the Global South, including both contemporary and historical perspectives.

Book SynopsisThe incredible true story of a a football team in the United States made up of refugee children.Trade Review‘Remarkable … Like all good books about sport, this is about much more than sport …This is a marvellous story, all the more moving for being written straight by a talented reporter.’ Mike Atherton, The Times ‘“Outcasts United” succeeds so emphatically because, just as the Fugees are so much more than a football team, this is much more than a sports book … a dense and unjudgmental portrait of America in the 21st century (and a vital primer to African and colonial history in the last one).’ Tim Lewis, Observer ‘Mufleh – a heady mixture of Brian Clough, Alex Ferguson and Martin Luther King – has wrought an astonishing transformation in the boys and their families, becoming not just a coach but a surrogate parent and stand-in social worker. St John’s expertly told account has been described as “heartwarming”, as if Mufleh has solved all the problems of multiculturalism at a stroke. Not yet, she hasn’t, but she has proved the truth of another football cliché: sometimes it is, indeed, more than just another game.’ Chris Maume, Independent

Oxford University Press Inc Let Me Be a Refugee
Book SynopsisWhy do decision-makers in similar liberal democracies interpret the same legal definition in very different ways? International law provides states with a common definition of a ''refugee'' as well as guidelines outlining how asylum claims should be decided. Yet, the processes by which countries determine who should be granted refugee status look strikingly different, even across nations with many political, cultural, geographical, and institutional commonalities. This book compares the refugee status determination (RSD) regimes of three popular asylum seeker destinations - the United States, Canada, and Australia. Despite similarly high levels of political resistance to accepting asylum seekers across these three states, once asylum seekers cross their borders, they access three very different systems. These differences are significant both in terms of asylum seekers'' experience of the process and in terms of their likelihood of being found to be a refugee. The book moves beyond the Trade ReviewThis book makes an important and original contribution to the scholarly literature, especially the literature on refugees but also the broader literature on the administrative state. It shows how consequential different institutional arrangements and legal/political cultures can be. I know of no other research that has opened up the black box of the state to examine the inner dynamics of the process of refugee determination. Hamlin does so in a way that is persuasive and illuminating. Anyone who works on refugees, whether in political science or law, will want to read this book. * Joseph H. Carens, University of Toronto *Hamlin gives us a highly original account of the politics of asylum-seeking, focusing on constitutional law and administrative practice in the U.S., Canada, and Australia. An excellent piece of scholarship and a timely book, Let Me Be a Refugee will quickly become a classic and a must-read for anyone interested in refugee policy. * James F.

Book SynopsisChechens: Culture and Society is an ethnography that elaborates the lived experiences of Chechens, focusing primarily on relationships and socio-cultural norms within the context of the current conflict in the Chechen Republic.Trade Review"This is a heroic attempt to capture the life and soul of a nation in an ethnographic study of Chechens whom the author knew and at times lived with in Ingushetia and Turkey over a period of ten years in total. She provides a detailed look at their norms, culture, values and roles both as they were ideally portrayed by the Chechens and as she saw them expressed and played out. We can thank Katherine Layton for giving us an account that is far more detailed and interesting than most of what we have been reading about this cultural/national group mostly unknown and often mis-portrayed to the American reader." - Vandra L.

Lexington Books Deadly Voyages
Book SynopsisDeadly Voyages: Migrant Journeys across the Globe explores the burdens and impact of perilous migration, while considering which laws, policies, practices, and venues might establish empathy and protection for migrants. This interdisciplinary volume envisions and calls for a transformation in migration policy, motivated by the common goal of drastically reducing the peril migrants face when compelled to make their treacherous journeys. All contributors to this volume agree on the inadequacy of current approaches and the dire need for change in global migration law and policy. Therefore, the book seeks to inform, educate, persuade, and facilitate newer or less-heard perspectives, toward wider participation and influence within the forced migration policy debate. Guided by the famous advice of Karl Marx that the point should be changing the world rather than merely analyzing or interpreting it, the contributors suggest practical measures to fix the current gap in responses to migrant perTable of ContentsPart I: The Dangerous Journey Chapter 1.

Fremantle Press The Archipelago of Us: A search for our identity
Book SynopsisFive years after first living in the Indian Ocean Territories, Reneé Pettitt-Schipp finds herself returning, haunted by memories of the asylum seekers she taught there in Australias detention system. Why do the islands still have a hold on her? Why are her memories such troubled ones? And why can she not let go? Closer to Indonesia than Australia, Christmas Island and Cocos (Keeling) Islands are out of sight and out of mind to most Australians, but they are the sites of some of our frontier wars, the places where our identity is laid bare in all its flawed complexity and the places where there is time and space enough to ask: can we be better than this? A travel narrative, a memoir and a thought-provoking look at Australias complicated history with Christmas and Cocos (Keeling) Islands and the asylum seekers detained there.

The Mercier Press Ltd Outlanders: Stories of the Displaced
Book SynopsisWHAT WOULD YOU DO TO SURVIVE? What sacrifices would you endure for a better life? Would you swim a vast river? Would you trek across a desert or float through a malarial rainforest? How about breaking out of a slave plantation? Boarding a leaky ship? Escaping a siege? Outlanders is a compilation of ten real-life stories from refugees and asylum seekers, whom the author met while working in the field of refugee resettlement in the US and Ireland. They are old people and young, recently arrived and well established, originating from Afghanistan, Burma, Laos, Somalia, Iraq, South Africa, Bosnia and Palestine. Outlanders is the first work of its kind to explore the subject from a creative perspective, setting it apart from previous journalistic work available on the subject. The stories are presented in a style that immerses the reader in the journey of the refugee, the sights, smells, sounds they experienced, how it felt along the way. These unique individual narratives are bound together by recurring themes: daily life, the eruption of conflict and the privations endured to escape it. Outlanders offers a glimpse into the lives of the displaced, not through screen or newsfeed, but through the very eyes of those who survived.

Granta Books From Another World
Book SynopsisThe seas are filled with migrants risking their lives on perilous crossings; Europe is engulfed by xenophobia and fear. In the cities and towns, in the schools and shops, strange children are starting to appear: enigmatic and unnerving, they disappear like ghosts, causing uproar. Amid mounting paranoia, Khaled, a young teenager from a war-torn Middle Eastern country, by chance meets Karolina in a discount store in Brussels. She buys him a red suitcase, and they part ways: Karolina to both mourn and search for her missing son, whose laptop betrays his entanglement with extremist groups; Khaled to head south, against the flow of other refugees - travelling with urgent intent, desperately protecting the contents of his suitcase. At once a ghost story, a morality tale and a quest narrative, From Another World is a striking reflection on loss, grief and the struggle to brave love in a world seized by fury.

Scribe Publications First, They Erased Our Name: a Rohingya speaks
Book SynopsisFor the first time, a Rohingya speaks up to expose the persecution facing his people. ‘I am three years old and will have to grow up with the hostility of others. I am already an outlaw in my own country, an outlaw in the world. I am three years old, and don’t yet know that I am stateless.’ Habiburahman was born in 1979 and raised in a small village in western Burma. When he was three years old, the country’s military leader declared that his people, the Rohingya, were not one of the 135 recognised ethnic groups that formed the eight ‘national races’. He was left stateless in his own country. Since 1982, millions of Rohingya have had to flee their homes as a result of extreme prejudice and persecution. In 2016 and 2017, the government intensified the process of ethnic cleansing, and over 600,000 Rohingya people were forced to cross the border into Bangladesh. Here, for the first time, a Rohingya speaks up to expose the truth behind this global humanitarian crisis. Through the eyes of a child, we learn about the historic persecution of the Rohingya people and witness the violence Habiburahman endured throughout his life until he escaped the country in 2000. First, They Erased Our Name is an urgent, moving memoir about what it feels like to be repressed in one’s own country and a refugee in others. It gives voice to the voiceless.Trade Review‘Habiburahman’s book is a rare first-hand account of what the Rohingya have had to endure over the past few decades, and especially valuable because the events it describes took place long before most of the world had heard of them. Told in short, punchy chapters, written in an urgent present tense …’ -- David Eimer * The Spectator *‘Here is the first account by a Rohingya of the decades-long oppression of his people, as well as a memoir of his own journey. Chilling and eye-opening.’ * i *‘This is the gripping, chilling inside story of the incubation of a genocide. In a corner of Asia where hatred has raged for decades, Habib’s moving family history emerges as a powerful and, to my knowledge, unique historical document. His compelling storytelling relates how playground prejudice against the Muslim Rohingya of Arakan escalated into pogroms, terror, and apartheid. As he makes his arduous and dangerous escape, he writes “death is always snapping at our heels”. What an incredible story. There are many who, after the killing fields of Cambodia, Bosnia, or Rwanda have said “Never again”. It just did, in Burma, and here’s how.’ -- Jonathan Miller, Foreign Affairs Correspondent * Channel 4 News *‘Written in a simple style appropriate to the childhood it records, the memoir is a devastating testimony of persecution.’ -- David McKechnie * The Irish Times *‘The book is written in simple language and tells the story without embellishment. There is no need for flourishes; it is relentless.’ -- Gay Alcorn * The Guardian *‘Habiburahman is a vivid storyteller … It is a book that should be read the world over until the Rohingyas get justice … An essential read.’ -- Liam Heylin * Irish Examiner *‘An astonishing story … a moving read.’ -- Paul Ross, talkRADIO‘The remarkable first personal account from a Rohingya of his people’s persecution in Burma.’ * i *‘The greatest barriers to stories such as Habiburahman’s being heard, though. Are invalidation and indifference. Do not be indifferent to this urgent, humane book. Read it, share it, talk about what has been happening — and in so doing safeguard the humanity of Habiburahman, the Rohingya and all asylum seekers, as well as the imperilled humanity of this country.’ -- Maria Takolander * The Saturday Paper *‘[First, They Erased Our Name] tells the first-hand truth behind the global humanitarian crisis.’ * Business Standard *‘For the first time, Habib’s book gives written voice to the history of fate and his people who have been left stateless in their own country. Habib’s own story is an odyssey of danger, resistance, torture and courage.’ -- James Taylor * Surf Coast Times *‘Compelling.’ -- Robyn Douglass * SA Weekend, starred review *‘Habiburahman was a boy when Myanmar outlawed his ethnic group, the Rohingya, stripping its members of citizenship and turning them into a stateless people. His book is a rare account of growing up during the subsequent catastrophe for the Rohingya … a useful addition to the literature of human rights abuses.’ * Kirkus Reviews *

Brill Protecting the Displaced: Deepening the Responsibility to Protect
Book SynopsisThis edited collection has sought contributions from some of the foremost scholars of refugee and Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) studies to engage with the conceptual and practical difficulties entailed in realising how the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) can be fulfilled by states and the international community to protect vulnerable persons. Contributors to this book were given one theme: to consider, based on their experience and knowledge, how R2P may be aligned with the protection of the displaced. Contributions explore the history and progress so far in aligning R2P with refugee and IDP protection, as well as examining the conceptual and practical issues that arise when attempting to expand R2P from words into deeds.Table of ContentsForced Migration, the Refugee Regime and the Responsibility to Protect, by Susan Martin; Reconciling R2P with IDP Protection, by Roberta Cohen; Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed…Something Blue?

Brill Generosity and Refugees: The Kosovars in Exile
Book SynopsisGenerosity and Refugees: The Kosovars in Exile is a work of history studying the social and political context encountered by Kosovar refugees fleeing their homeland to Australia at the height of the NATO-led war against Serbian forces in 1999. The flight of the Kosovar refugees changed Australia's asylum seeker policy forever, and a new test for international humanitarianism had begun. Today refugee crises globally beg the international community to embrace a generosity of spirit. A question this book asks is whether there are limits to generosity, inhibited by nationally contextual and historical perspectives. Generosity and Refugees examines the role of the media in framing public understandings of refugees with intriguing parallels for understanding the contemporary political climate internationally.

Brill Challenges and Opportunities in Education for Refugees in Europe: From Research to Good Practices
Book SynopsisThe wave of migrants arriving in Europe fleeing from war or hard living conditions represents both a challenge and a great educational opportunity for the European school systems. Currently, research and good practice in this field have been mainly developed within the boundaries of national educational politics and policies, addressing distinct populations. This fragmentation has stood in the way of a systematic analysis of the question at the European level, which is a necessary condition for the advancement of successful educational interventions. The book aims to offer substantive insights for researchers, policy makers, and teachers concerned with the effective inclusion of refugees within education by collecting and comparing the growing body of knowledge that is emerging from eight European countries. Contributors are: Oula Abu-Amsha, Miki Aristorenas, Tatjana Atanasoska, Benjamin Brass, Henrik Bruns, Heike de Boer, Sanja Grbić, Hermina Gunnþórsdóttir, Laure Kloetzer, Tünde Kovacs Cerović, Louise Pagden, Michelle Proyer, Wayne Veck, Dragan Vesić, and Julie Wharton.Table of ContentsList of Figures and Tables Introduction Fabio Dovigo 1. “It’s Sad and Nice at the Same Time”: Challenges to Professionalization in Pedagogical Work with Migrant Children Heike de Boer, Benjamin Brass and Henrik Bruns 2.

Book SynopsisSince 2014, the international community has felt overwhelmed by refugees and asylum seekers searching for opportunities in which to rebuild their lives. Indeed, large numbers can result in turmoil and concern in resettlement countries and with national citizens. A climate of fear can result, especially if perpetuated by politicians and media that suggest negative effects resulting from immigration. Caught in the crossfire of social and political disagreements about migration are children, most of whom are not included in decisions to leave their homelands. This edited book examines their academic challenges from the perspective of the six English-speaking refugee resettlement countries. Our hope is not only to compare challenges, but also to describe successes by which teachers and policymakers can consider new approaches to help refugee and asylum-seeking children. Educational Policies and Practices of English-Speaking Refugee Resettlement Countries offers perspectives from established and new scholars examining educational situations for refugees and asylum seekers. The top three resettlement countries are the United States, Canada, and Australia. For its size, New Zealand is also proportionately a country of high resettlement. New to resettlement are the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland. Thus, this collection includes wisdom from countries that began resettlement during World War Two as well as newcomers to the process. In 2018, UNHCR numbers of displaced people reached a record high of 68.5 million. Policymakers, teachers, social service providers, and the general public need to understand ways to help resettled refugees become productive members in their new countries of residence.

New to resettlement are the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland. Thus, this collection includes wisdom from countries that began resettlement during World War Two as well as newcomers to the process. In 2018, UNHCR numbers of displaced people reached a record high of 68.5 million. Policymakers, teachers, social service providers, and the general public need to understand ways to help resettled refugees become productive members in their new countries of residence.

Brill Migrants and Religion: Paths, Issues, and Lenses: A Multidisciplinary and Multi-Sited Study on the Role of Religious Belongings in Migratory and Integration Processes
Book SynopsisDespite the worldwide dramatic spread of religious-based discriminations, persecutions, and conflicts, both official data and academic literature have underestimated their role as a root cause of contemporary migrations. This multidisciplinary study aims to overcome this gap. Through an unprecedented collection of theoretical analysis and original empirical evidence, the book provides unique data and insights on the role of religion in the trajectories of asylum seekers and migrants – from the analysis of the religious geography of sending countries to the role of spirituality as a factor of resilience and adaptation. By enhancing both academic and political debate on these issues, the book offers the possibility of regaining awareness of the close link between religious freedom and the quality of democracy. Contributors include: Paolo Gomarasca, Monica Martinelli, Monica Spatti, Andrea Santini, Andrea Plebani, Paolo Maggiolini, Riccardo Redaelli, Alessia Melcangi, Giancarlo Rovati, Annavittoria Sarli, Giulia Mezzetti, Lucia Boccacin, Linda Lombi, Donatella Bramanti, Stefania Meda, Giovanna Rossi, Beatrice Nicolini, Cristina Giuliani, Camillo Regalia, Giovanni Giulio Valtolina, Paola Barachetti, Maddalena Colombo, Rosangela Lodigiani, Mariagrazia Santagati, Fabio Baggio, Vera Lomazzi, Paolo Bonetti, Laura Zanfrini, Mario Antonelli, Luca Bressan, Alessandro Bergamaschi, Catherine Blaya, Núria Llevot-Calvet, Olga Bernad-Cavero, and Jordi Garreta-Bochaca.Table of Contents List of Figures and Tables Notes on Contributors Part 1: Migrations and Religious Belonging: from Periphery to Core, for a New 1 Introduction.

Brill Migrants, Refugees, and Asylum Seekers in Latin America
Book SynopsisScholarship on ethnicity in modern Latin America has traditionally understood the region’s various societies as fusions of people of European, indigenous, and/or African descent. These are often deployed as stable categories, with European or “white” as a monolith against which studies of indigeneity or blackness are set. The role of post-independence immigration from eastern and western Europe—as well as from Asia, Africa, and Latin-American countries—in constructing the national ethnic landscape remains understudied. The contributors of this volume focus their attention on Jewish, Arab, non-Latin European, Asian, and Latin American immigrants and their experiences in their “new” homes. Rejecting exceptionalist and homogenizing tendencies within immigration history, contributors advocate instead an approach that emphasizes the locally- and nationally-embedded nature of ethnic identification.Trade Review"This edited volume presents a useful contribution to the migration history of Latin America, situated squarely in the transdisciplinary field of migration studies and following the equally interesting 2017 volume by two of the coeditors. (...) Among the most fascinating chapters are the three that focus on inter-American migratory flows by addressing US immigrants in Costa Rica, Colombian women in Ecuador (many of whom received asylum), and the Franco-Brazilian borderlands." - Edward Blumenthal, Université Sorbonne Nouvelle, HAHR November 2021.Table of ContentsAcknowledgments List of Contributors 1 Introduction Raanan Rein, Stefan Rinke, and David M.K.

Brill Refugees and Higher Education: Trans-national Perspectives on Access, Equity, and Internationalization
Book SynopsisRefugees and Higher Education provides a cross-disciplinary lens on one American university’s approach to studying the policies, practices, and experiences associated with the higher education of refugee background students. The focus is not only on refugee education as an issue of access and equity, but also on this phenomenon as seen through the lens of internationalization. What competencies are called for among university faculty and staff welcoming refugee-background students to their institutional contexts? How might “distance learning” be considered anew? These challenges and opportunities for institutional growth will be closely considered by this group of authors from educational leadership, social work, curriculum development, and higher education itself. They address key world regions, and sub-topics ranging from online education in refugee camps to the Brazilian and Colombian responses to the emerging crisis in Venezuela. Scholars researching refugee education cross-nationally often find that refugee education literature is parsed by disciplinary field. This book, in contrast, offers a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary overview of refugee education issues around the world. These perspectives also provide key insights for faculty and staff at higher education institutions that currently enroll asylees or refugees, as well as those that may do so in the future.Table of ContentsSeries Preface Hans de Wit, Philip Altbach and Rebecca Schendel List of Figures and Tables Notes on Contributors Part 1: Framing the Landscape 1 Refugees and Higher Education: Trans-national Perspectives on Access, Equity, and Internationalization Hans de Wit, Tessa DeLaquil, Hakan Ergin, Araz Khajarian and Lisa Unangst 2 Refugee Higher Education in Contexts of Displacement: Educational Approaches and Programmatic Initiatives Thomas M.

Brill Conditional Freedom: Free Soil and Fugitive Slaves from the U.S. South to Mexico’s Northeast, 1803–1861
Book SynopsisWhile the literature on slave flight in nineteenth-century North America has commonly focused on fugitive slaves escaping to the U.S. North and Canada, Conditional Freedom provides new insights on the social and political geography of freedom and slavery in nineteenth-century North America by exploring the development of southern routes of escape from slavery in the U.S. South and the experiences of self-emancipated slaves in the U.S.–Mexico borderlands. In Conditional Freedom, Thomas Mareite offers a social history of U.S. refugees from slavery, and provides a political history of the clash between Mexican free soil and the spread of slavery west of the Mississippi valley during the nineteenth-century.Table of ContentsAcknowledgments List of Maps, Figures, and Tables Abbreviations Introduction 1 Free Soil and Spaces of Freedom in the Age of the Second Slavery 2 Historiographies and Insights 3 Sources and Outline Part 1: Fleeing Slavery 1 Experiencing Slavery, Imagining Freedom 1 Introduction 2 “A Spirit of Great Insubordination”: Mexico as Imagined Land of Freedom for African Americans 3 Relatives and Loved Ones 4 “Por maltrato”: The Second Slavery’s Violence and Serial Runaways 5 “Más mal que lo corriente”: Paternalism, (Broken) Compromises and Conflicts 6 The Intersection of Gender, Age and Qualifications 7 Conclusion 2 Geography, Mobility and Networks: Escaping through the US-Mexico Borderlands 1 Introduction 2 Easing Mobility: Spatial and Material Strategies 3 Abolitionists, Smugglers and Scapegoats 4 Cracking Down on Mobility: Legal and Extra-Legal Violence in the Borderlands 5 Conclusion Part 2: Crafting Freedom 3 Self-Liberated Slaves and Asylum in Northeastern Mexico, 1803–1836 1 Introduction 2 Slave Refugees in Late Colonial New Spain (1803–1821) 3 Self-Liberated Slaves in Early Independent Mexico (1821–1836) 4 Conclusion 4 “Mexico Was Free!

Brill Exile Cultures, Misplaced Identities
Book SynopsisExile Cultures, Misplaced Identities takes a transnational and transcultural approach to exile and its capacities to alter the ways we think about place and identity in the contemporary world. The edited collection brings together researchers on exile in international perspective from three continents who explore questions of exilic identity along multiple geopolitical and cultural axes—Cuba, the USA and Australia; Colombia and the USA; Algeria and France; Italy, France and Mexico; non-Han minorities and Han majorities in China; China, Tibet and India; Japan and China; New Caledonia, Vietnam and France; Hungary, the USSR, and Australia; and Germany, before and after unification. The international and crosscultural span of this collection represents an important addition to the fields of exile criticism and cultural identity studies. Exile Cultures, Misplaced Identities will be of interest to readers, scholars and students of exile, diasporic and transmigration studies, international studies, postcolonial studies, cultural studies, language studies, and comparative literary studies.Trade Review"A highly recommended collection that aims to “alter the ways we think about place and identity in the contemporary world.”" – in: U 7 (10 August 2008) "This collection of diverse accounts on how exile is experienced and expressed across the globe promotes interdisciplinary discussion, which should be of interest to scholars in history, sociology, cultural and literary studies, as well as artists, writers and activists outside the academic sphere." – in: Transnational Literature 2 (1 November 2009)Table of ContentsAcknowledgements Paul ALLATSON and Jo MCCORMACK: Introduction Susette COOKE: Becoming and Unbecoming Tu: Nation, Nationality and Exilic Agency in the People’s Republic of China David S.G.
