Refugees and political asylum Books

Book SynopsisRefugee law is going through momentous times, as dictatorships tumble, revolutions simmer and the 'Arab Awakening' gives way to the spread of terror from Syria to the Sahel in Africa. This compilation of topical chapters, by some of the leading scholars in the field, covers major themes of rights, security, the UNHCR, international humanitarianism and state interests and sets out to map new contours.The concerns over our security are replacing humanitarian concerns over the plight of others. Securitization, exclusion and the internal relocation of genuine refugees are now the favored polices. Yet, while central idioms of protection, persecution and non-refoulement have changed, there are also new demands on refugee law. The contributors to this book ask whether there are new spheres of protection emerging, for which refugee law must find a clear space, such as the protection of child refugees, trafficked persons, gender-related asylum and conscientious objectors to military service. This timely and valuable book shows that in these uncertain times, refugee law still has an exciting and challenging future ahead.Contemporary Issues in Refugee Law will appeal to academics, researchers, students and practitioners.Contributors: I.

Book SynopsisGovernments increasingly rely upon detention to control the movement of undocumented migrants and asylum seekers. The deprivation of liberty of non-citizens due to their undocumented or irregular status is often fraught with gross injustices. This book stresses the need for global policy-makers to address these practices in order to ensure compliance with fundamental human rights and prevent detention abuses. Approaching detention from an interdisciplinary perspective, this volume brings together leading writers and thinkers to provide a greater understanding of why it is such an important social phenomenon and suggest ways to confront it locally and globally. Challenging Immigration Detention thematically examines a broad range of situations across the globe, with contributors providing overviews of key issues, case studies and experiences in their fields, while highlighting potential strategies for curbing detention abuses. Demonstrating the value of varied analytical frameworks and investigative angles, the contributors provide urgently needed insight into a growing human rights issue. With cross-disciplinary investigation into an issue with immediate global importance, Challenging Immigration Detention is vital for undergraduates, postgraduates, activists, lawyers and policy-makers interested in international human rights. National and international humanitarian organizations and advocacy groups working in migrant and asylum rights will find this a compelling and diverse overview of migrant detention.Contributors include: S.

Book SynopsisWith unprecedented numbers of children on the move in search of safety, Protecting Migrant Children explores the complex legal and human rights issues that arise when children cross borders as migrants. It critically examines the strengths and weaknesses of international and domestic laws with the aim of identifying best practice for migrant children.The book brings together an interdisciplinary and multinational group of experts to assess the nature and root causes of child migration in different parts of the world, featuring national and comparative case studies in Australia, Canada, Europe, the United States and parts of Asia and Africa. The contributors address systematically the many challenges experienced and posed by young people who cross borders in search of protection, or a better quality of life. Identifying the many universal issues facing states who play host to these children, the book lays the foundations for new paradigms in law, policy and practice in the reception and management of child migrants, refugees and victims of trafficking. Topical and engaging, this book is an important resource for academics and students in human rights law; migration and refugee law; the administrative and procedural issues of refugee law, and comparative law; as well as in the social sciences and health sciences. Policymakers and workers within the community sector will also find this book stimulating and informative.Contributors include: E.O. Abuya, F. Anello, T. Baker, L.B. Benson, S. Bolton, K. Bones, M.

ZouTrade Review‘The interdisciplinary character of the book is one of its chief strengths: just as no one country can deal with international migration on its own, the complex and multidimensional phenomenon of international child migration cannot be adequately understood, or its challenges addressed, if viewed only through the lens of a single discipline. This is a valuable edited collection with wide appeal. It constitutes an important addition to the burgeoning literature on what are the mammoth and complex challenges to the realisation in practice of migrant children’s rights. It will be of interest and use to anyone concerned with children’s rights in the context of international migration and comfortably achieves the editors’ goal of providing 'a foundation for assessment and improvement' in the rather haphazard way in which states react to child migration.’ -- Alan Desmond, Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Law‘This is a valuable edited collection with wide appeal.

It provides a fresh and important addition to the literature, including possible solutions.' --Stephen Yale-Loehr, Cornell University Law School, US'This compendium of international and country-specific approaches to protecting migrant children is a truly remarkable achievement. The world's leading scholars and practitioners of immigration, refugee, and child protection law assembled here offer a road map for understanding and action on behalf of the world's countless migrant children who, as the editors remind us, are both our responsibility and our future.' --Peter H.

Book SynopsisThis timely book assesses national and supranational bilateral approaches to dealing with the rising tide of migration into the European Union via the Mediterranean Sea. International law and EU migration law specialists critically assess the legal tools adopted to engage with the 'refugee crisis'. While the EU works to develop a unified approach to Mediterranean transit and origin countries, the authors argue that a crucial role should be accorded to individual states in finding a solution to this complex and sensitive situation. Historical and political factors playing into migration strategies are discussed, and the legal framework underpinning the bilateral and regional schemes on which the northern and southern shores of the Mediterranean seek to cooperate on migration is also examined. Migration-related issues, such as search and rescue at sea, human rights and policing are explored throughout the book. Comparing the bilateral arrangements Southern EU Member States have made with the Mediterranean countries of origin and the regional bilateralism conducted by the EU, expert authors assess how best to achieve a coherent model. This will be an essential read for academics and scholars in international and European migration law, environmental politics and policy; practitioners and policymakers working on migration issues, and NGOs.

Book SynopsisReflecting on three decades of post-conflict recovery in the Balkans, this incisive book investigates the long-term effects of war displacement on women across Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, and Kosovo.Selma Porobić and Brad K. Blitz draw upon four different research streams produced by a large, cross-national, and multidisciplinary team of contributors to compare the experiences of different categories of war-uprooted and/or women forced migrants. Providing a gender-inclusive focus on psychosocial wellbeing, chapters consider the long-term impacts of complex trauma on internally displaced persons, returnees, and refugees throughout the whole cycle of displacement, return, and reintegration. Uncovering alarming risk and protective factors linked to protracted political and socioeconomic instability in the region, the book ultimately offers lessons for a wider post-war recovery framework that prioritises women’s agency, psychosocial health, and trans-generational recovery.Featuring interdisciplinary, cross-country, and multi-methods research, this insightful book will prove an invaluable resource to students and scholars of psychology, sociology, migration, gender, and human rights law. Its critical assessment of durable solutions for displaced populations will also benefit practitioners focused on peace building, humanitarianism, and development.Trade Review‘Forced Migration, Gender and Wellbeing is a brave and much-needed study of the long term effects of the violent breakup of Yugoslavia in 1992. In the intervening years there are no longer any refugees, only unresolved traumatic experiences, problems of identity and self esteem and issues with gender equality. This is a much-needed work on understanding how the lived experience of violence and displacement impacted the wellbeing of men and women alike in Kosovo, Bosnia, and Serbia.’ -- Dawn Chatty, University of Oxford, UK‘The 1990s wars of Yugoslav succession have resulted in enormous human casualties and millions of displaced people. There are many general studies of this conflict, but we still lack in-depth knowledge on the gender dimension of forced migration. This comprehensive, -- innovative, and empirically meticulous study successfully fills this analytical gap.’– Siniša Malešević, University College Dublin, IrelandTable of ContentsContents: Preface xii 1 Introduction to Forced Migration, Gender and Wellbeing 1 Selma Porobić and Brad K.

Book SynopsisLudger Pries explores the important moral, social and political challenge facing Europe and the international community: the protection of refugees as one of the most vulnerable groups on the planet.Combining an in-depth analysis of current research, own empirical studies in several European countries, and a critical review of the policies of nation states as well as international and transnational organizations, the author analyses the 2015 so-called refugee crisis and its continuing impact. Who are the refugees, how and why did they come? Which parts of civil society were actively involved and why? What are the future responsibilities of the state for arriving refugees and their successful integration? This book examines the limitations of structural settings with perspectives on collective actors’ behaviour and strategies. Offering a critical view on the historical embedding of the refugee issue, as well as the current and future challenges for Europe, Pries provides an insightful overview of all aspects of the so-called European refugee crisis and its aftermath. Refugees, Civil Society and the State merges perspectives from political science and international relations with international humanitarian law, the sociology of migration and action theory. Scholars, journalists and political actors who want to further understand the ongoing challenge of refugee protection will greatly benefit from the distinguished author’s research.Trade Review'Ludger Pries uses three dyads to provide a sophisticated examination of the ''refugee crisis'' of 2015: the global dynamics of migration vs methodological nationalism, the evolution of European legal asylum instruments vs ''organized non-responsibility'' on the part of some political leaders and, finally, internationalist solidarity movements vs right-wing populism. The result is an insightful analysis of events hitherto obscured by sensationalist headlines.' --Robin Cohen, University of Oxford, UK'Ludger Pries shows how refugee flows are a symptom of a new transnational social question, revealing the weakness of the Common European Asylum framework, which has degenerated into a system of ''organised non-responsibility''. In global terms, the United Nations' refugee protection is breaking down, making new approaches essential. Pries' institutional sociology approach points to possible ways forward, based on involvement of civil society and social movements, and strategies to reduce inequality within and between nations.' --Stephen Castles, University of Sydney, AustraliaTable of ContentsContents 1.

Book SynopsisCapturing the important place and power role that culture plays in the decision-making process of migration, this Handbook looks at human movement outside of a vacuum; taking into account the impact of family relationships, access to resources, and security and insecurity at both the points of origin and destination.Utilising case studies from around the world, chapters look at migration from the perspectives of a broad range of migrants, including refugees, labour migrants, students, highly educated migrants, and documented and undocumented movers. The Handbook moves beyond an understanding of the economics of migration, looking at the importance of love, skilled movers, food and identity in migrants’ lives. It analyses the assumption that migrants follow direct pathways to new destinations where they settle, recognising the dynamic ways in which movers travel, following circular routes and celebrating new opportunities. Highlighting the challenges migrants face, disputes around belonging and citizenship are explored in relation to rising nationalism and xenophobia.The insightful studies of the choices migrants make around both perceived and real needs and resources will make this Handbook a critical read for scholars and students of migration studies. It will also appeal to policy makers looking to understand the complexity of the impetus to migrant movement, and the important role that culture plays.Trade Review’This Handbook provides a wealth of state-of-the-art chapters exploring the foremost issues concerning contemporary global migration. Its integrative theme of culture - human meanings and patterns as they affect migration processes - offers a most welcome perspective and mode of understanding.’ -- - Steven Vertovec, Max Planck institute for the Study of Religious and Ethnic Diversity, Germany’Based on the fundamental argument that ‘’culture matters’’ for understanding migration, this rich collection of essays makes new and original contributions to the study of migration as a key global process.

Book SynopsisThis timely Handbook brings together leading international scholars from a range of disciplinary backgrounds and geopolitical perspectives to interrogate the intersections between migration and global justice. It explores how cross-border mobility and migration have been affected by rapid economic, cultural and technological globalisation, addressing the pressing questions of global justice that arise as governments respond to unprecedented levels of global migration. Chapters analyse the key issues arising from tensions between international and national priorities, duties and laws, as well as visions for human coexistence and harmony. Featuring chapters written by researchers, political activists and contributors with lived experience of migration injustice, the Handbook explores central topics including failures in refugee protection, worker exploitation and violence against migrants. Looking ahead, it also discusses possible pathways to achieve global justice in and through migration, in terms of geopolitics, subjective experience, human rights and redistributive justice, global solidarity and political activism. Combining empirical case studies with cutting-edge theory, this Handbook will be an invaluable resource for scholars and students of migration, human rights and public policy. The application of the global justice concept to issues of migration and border control will also be useful for policy makers, practitioners and NGOs in these areas.Trade Review‘This volume will be a valuable source for all scholars and students who are interested in the global and local manifestations of justice projects within the context of migration and mobility. Not only does it outline the complexity of actors, processes, conditions, and subjectivities within multiple arenas of migration-related justice claims, but it also focuses critical attention on the nexus between global justice and multiple interwoven facets of securitization, racialization, and marginalization.’ -- Anna Amelina, Miriam Friz Trzeciak, Ethnic and Racial Studies‘Handbook of Migration and Global Justice is an invaluable addition to college and university library Social Issues collections, worthy of the highest recommendation.’ -- James A Cox, Midwest Book Review‘Handbook of Migration and Global Justice brings together an impressive assemblage of migration scholars to analyze how nation-states have transformed immigration into crises that call forth intensified protection of both state boundaries and national identities. Truly global in scope, and firmly grounded in the political economy of labour and the politics of human rights, this book offers new insights into the subterranean forces and structural arrangements animating the largest human migration in history, as well as the ineffectual and routinely inhumane responses many destination nations have mobilized to thwart human needs for mobility. It is a must read for those interested in the cutting-edge of migration scholarship.’ -- Raymond J. Michalowski, Northern Arizona University, US'This is an important book that brings together normative and empirical considerations about the intersections of migration with global justice - and of migrants as workers and as carriers of rights.

Book SynopsisThis insightful book discusses how states deploy frontier and digital technologies to manage and control migratory movements. Assessing the development of blockchain technologies for digital identities and cash transfer; artificial intelligence for smart borders, resettlement of refugees and assessing asylum applications; social media and mobile phone applications to track and surveil migrants, it critically examines the consequences of new technological developments and evaluates their impact on the rights of migrants and refugees.Chapters evaluate the technology-based public-private projects that govern migration globally and illustrate the political implications of these virtual borders. International contributors compare and contrast different forms of political expression, in both personal technologies, such as social media for refugees and smugglers, and automated decision-making algorithms used by states to enable migration governance. This timely book challenges hegemonic approach to migration governance and provides cases demonstrating the dangers of employing frontier technologies denying basic rights, liberties and agencies of migrants and refugees.Stepping into a contentious political climate for migrants and refugees, this provocative book is ideal reading for scholars and researchers of political science and public policy, particularly those focusing on migration and refugee studies.

Vogel, Midwest Book Review'The book is a timely contribution on how digital technology is used in the establishment, management and enforcement of physical and virtual borders.

Book SynopsisThis thought-provoking book critically analyses how the implementation of the EU-Turkey Statement on Refugees affects the rights of refugees and asylum seekers. Bringing together an in-depth examination of both EU and Turkish law and fieldwork data within a theoretical human rights framework, Hülya Kaya discusses the operational realities and failures of the agreement between Turkey and the EU from a socio-legal perspective. This timely book provides important evidence that refugee protection in the region of origin is not an effective solution to the refugee protection crisis, and casts doubt on the capacity of the agreement to contribute to fair burden sharing between states. Kaya illuminates the practical and legal difficulties that refugees experience, and draws upon the political theory of Hannah Arendt to argue that the situation constitutes a further form of violence against refugees by hindering their ability to claim and exercise their fundamental human rights. Scholars and doctoral students specialising in refugee law and migration studies, as well as human rights lawyers, will find this book to be crucial reading. It will also be of interest to human rights advocates and those working in international organisations and NGOs in this area, alongside policy makers in the EU and Turkey. Trade Review'From 2015, substantially more refugees began arriving in the EU, mainly from Turkey, triggering a policy crisis regarding their reception and integration. This book meticulously examines the EU's choice of action and effective agreement with the Turkish authorities, the so-called EU-Turkey Statement. The controversy, both legal and humanitarian, which this deal sparked in the EU and Turkey is brilliantly set out, beginning with the legal frameworks relevant to the issue. This is mandatory reading for those interested in regional refugee protection regimes.' --Elspeth Guild, Queen Mary University of London, UKTable of ContentsContents: 1. Introduction 2.

Book SynopsisMoving away from state categorizations on irregular migration, this Research Handbook critically examines processes and dynamics that generate and reproduce irregularity, and discusses who may count as an irregular migrant.Acknowledging that irregular migration is not just a South-North issue, chapters investigate the many different pathways into irregularity, demonstrating the benefits of understanding dynamics behind irregular migration over statistics. Organised into six thematic parts covering key issues such as approaches and perspectives for research, informal labour and the challenges faced by migrant families, global contributors from a variety of disciplines provide an expert review of geographical and historical paths into irregular migration. Offering their background knowledge and highlighting tools to better understand how irregular migration is linked to geopolitics and migration policies, the Research Handbook on Irregular Migration guides readers through the complex issues facing migrants worldwide. Written in a comprehensive yet accessible style, this Research Handbook will be an excellent resource for undergraduate and graduate students as well researchers and academics interested in migration, policy, law, security, border crossing, informal labour, crime and civil support to migrants.Trade Review‘With a stellar line up of established and early career scholars in the field, this Handbook is a must-read for everyone interested in understanding the multi-scalar politics of migrants’ irregularisation, its everyday impacts on the lives of migrants with no or precarious immigration status and opportunities and spaces for contestation and resistance.’ -- Nando Sigona, University of Birmingham, UK‘This timely volume brings together leading theorists on irregular migration to provide a comprehensive picture of cutting-edge research in the field.

Book SynopsisIn recent years the UNCHR has expressed increasing concern at how war, violence and persecution have resulted in an age of unprecedented mass displacement. The global financial crisis, the rise of populist leaders, and the growth of anti-EU parties, raises the need to interrogate the 'refugee', 'migrant', 'citizen', 'stateless', 'legal', and 'illegal' as concepts. This Research Handbook maintains that refugees need to be seen as core indicators of the failure of national, international, economic, and political governance, and provides critical analyses of the legal ordering of refugees, and gives a glimpse at what the future of refugee law could - and should - look like. Bringing together experts in the field, the innovative and groundbreaking chapters provide a critical perspective on the legal landscape for refugees at a time when the politics and legitimacy of transnational regulatory governance are in question as never before. In an age of growing ethnic nationalism and anti-immigrant rhetoric, the contributing authors examine key issues surrounding refugees and migration, and build a new outlook on social justice, as the post-war international order ends. With its informative analysis and moving accounts, this Research Handbook will be a critical tool for students of law, especially those with an interest in human rights and migration. Its insights will also be valuable for policy practitioners and policymakers. Contributors include: S. Barichello, M. Bolhuis, E. Bruce-Jones, E. Darling, M. Giuffre, C. Higgins, Y. Holiday, N.

WoodTrade Review'...he has also brought into the Handbook new issues and debates that have arisen in the context of the changing politics around refugees. The book brings to the forefront the clear uncertainty surrounding many of the issues. I found the book compelling and engaging... the topics examined in the Handbook are interesting,and the Handbook is a useful reference tool or introduction to specific topics, issues and debates. The book will benefit academic researchers, postgraduate students, government officials, practising lawyers and lawyers who work in policy.

Book SynopsisThis authoritative Handbook provides an interdisciplinary appraisal of the field of return migration, advancing concepts and theories and setting an agenda for new debates. Structured into four parts, the Handbook maps the contemporary field of return migration, examining the effects and politicisation of return migration, before moving on to explore the theme of reintegration and the impact of return migration on development in the migrants’ countries of origin. Taking an intersectional approach, expert contributors delve into the economics of return migration, deportation, the psychological wellbeing of migrants, student mobility and second-generation ‘return’ migration. The Handbook opens up new avenues for research, including new theories and conceptualisations of return migration, and articulates key issues that should be considered, both for research and for policy and practice. This Handbook will be a valuable resource for scholars and advanced students interested in migration and human rights. Its use of empirical examples and case studies will also be beneficial for policy-makers seeking an insight into the current issues in return migration.Trade Review‘Russell King and Katie Kuschminder have brought together a multidisciplinary team to cover return migration from multiple conceptual, theoretical, empirical and political angles. The volume focuses on the intersection of these approaches to provide a general but also detailed survey of the field. Given the multidisciplinary nature of this collection, this volume will be useful across the field of migration studies as well as within the specific discipline approach of each individual chapter. In particular, scholars and practitioners working in the area of migration and ethics, especially human rights, should find this collection valuable.’ -- James Barry, Ethnic and Racial Studies‘Return migration used to be the Cinderella of migration studies. This Handbook is an indispensable corrective, containing a marvellously rich and diverse collection of case studies together with a “state of the art” review of the relevant literature by the editors.’ -- Robin Cohen, University of Oxford, UK‘In this collection of eye-opening contributions on return migration, Russell King and Katie Kuschminder have assembled a highly productive group of authors who give guidance in this quickly emerging field. The contributions convincingly employ insights from various branches of migration and mobility studies, and establish new ground in topics ranging from assisted return and deportations to reintegration and engagement in local development. The individual chapters draw a differentiated portrait of a crucial but so far underappreciated dimension of migration. We have waited a long time for such a truly stimulating Handbook.’ -- Thomas Faist, Bielefeld University, GermanyTable of ContentsContents: 1 Introduction: definitions, typologies and theories of return migration 1 Russell King and Katie Kuschminder PART I THEORISING AND CONCEPTUALISING RETURN MIGRATION 2 The economics of return migration 24 Jackline Wahba 3 Return and transnationalism 38 Özge Bilgili 4 Gendering return migration 53 Russell King and Aija Lulle 5 Theorising voluntariness in return 70 Marta Bivand Erdal and Ceri Oeppen 6 Departheid: re-politicising the inhumane treatment of illegalised migrants in so-called liberal democratic states 84 Barak Kalir 7 Return visits and other return mobilities 96 Md Farid Miah PART II THE POLITICISATION OF RETURN MIGRATION 8 Critical reflections on assisted return programmes and practices 108 Ine Lietaert 9 The contours of deportation studies 122 Martin Lemberg-Pedersen 10 The Return Directive: clarifying the scope and substance of the rights of migrants facing expulsion from the EU 137 Alan Desmond 11 The return industry: the case of the Netherlands 153 Marieke van Houte 12 The legitimisation of the policy objective of sustainable reintegration 167 Rossella Marino and Ine Lietaert 13 Corruption and return migration 185 Erlend Paasche PART III EXPERIENCES OF RETURN AND REINTEGRATION 14 Reintegration strategies 200 Katie Kuschminder 15 Labour migrants and the retirement–return nexus 212 Claudio Bolzman 16 Return migration and psychosocial wellbeing 226 Zana Vathi 17 The return migration of children: (re)integration is not always plain sailing 241 Daina Grosa 18 Student mobility: between returning home and remaining abroad 255 Elisa Alves 19 Returning lifestyle migrants 270 Katie Walsh 20 Revisiting second-generation ‘return’ migration to the ancestral homeland 283 Nilay Kılınç 21 Return migration experiences: the case of Central and Eastern Europe 299 Anne White PART IV RETURN MIGRATION AND DEVELOPMENT 22 Exploring the return migration and development nexus 314 Russell King 23 Diaspora return and knowledge transfer 331 Charlotte Mueller 24 Return migration, entrepreneurship and development 344 Giulia Sinatti Index

Book SynopsisForced migration in the 21st century is closely linked to three global developments: climate change, rapid urbanization and the lack of solutions faced by millions of displaced people. The Handbook on Forced Migration brings a critical lens to the study of these issues. By adding the often overlooked disciplines of history and philosophy, this Handbook challenges narratives on forced migration, explains contemporary challenges, and provides a call for action.Each section of the Handbook presents diverse perspectives and a range of case studies on the interaction between forced migration and climate change, urbanization and solutions. The Introduction challenges different forced migration narratives, and the Conclusion makes new arguments for standards in forced migration research. A final chapter explores potential problems for forced migrants around digital technology,This fascinating Handbook will be an important read for human rights, humanitarian and development practitioners, and for urban studies and migration scholars and students. The research-centred approach will benefit academics and policymakers undertaking new investigations.Trade Review‘As global displacement is seen to be ever increasing in scale and complexity, this collection of perspectives – from a truly remarkable group of contributors – is essential reading for anyone that seeks to more fully understand this enduring phenomenon.’ -- James Milner, Carleton University, Canada‘The Handbook on Forced Migration provides a wide-ranging and iconoclastic set of reflections on forced migration across disciplinary perspectives.

Book SynopsisThis insightful book analyzes the evolution of the operational tasks and cooperation of the European Border and Coast Guard Agency (FRONTEX), the European Asylum Support Office (EASO) and the European Union Agency for Law Enforcement Cooperation (EUROPOL). Exploring the recent expansion of the legal mandates of these decentralized EU agencies and the activities they undertake in practice, David Fernández-Rojo offers a critical assessment of the EU migration agencies.The book identifies two key trends in the administration of the European Area of Freedom, Security and Justice. Fernández-Rojo discusses how on one hand the new legal frameworks of FRONTEX, EASO and EUROPOL stress that their operational roles are limited to providing national authorities with technical assistance, while on the other hand these agencies are increasingly involved in guaranteeing the enforcement of EU migration, asylum and border management measures. The book expertly illustrates how FRONTEX, EASO and EUROPOL establish an effective and uniform national implementation of laws and policies, with a focus on their multilateral cooperation in the hotspots established in the aftermath of the refugee crisis.Examining the de jure and de facto operational powers and cooperation of EU migration agencies, this book will be critical reading for academics and students of law, international relations and political science. Its assessment of the effectiveness of policy implementation will also be beneficial for legal practitioners, policy makers and NGOs.Trade Review‘This book offers an insightful analysis of the de jure and de facto operational powers and cooperation of FRONTEX, EASO and EUROPOL. It evidences a thorough and detailed mapping of the developing role of these agencies in a complex and highly sensitive political context, as well as the legal and other issues this entails. It is therefore a great addition to the library of any scholar interested in EU agencies in the field of migration, asylum and border management and -- related issues.’– Annick Pijnenburg, CML Review‘This book is based on thorough research and a solid empirical-legal -- methodology and offers a critical analysis that is at the same timeappropriately nuanced.’– Mariana Gkliati, EU Law Live'In this detailed and precise guide, the author traces how Europe's border, police, and asylum agencies are evolving in an interactive system of governance.

Book SynopsisAn invaluable insight into the narrative politics and theologies of LGBTQ+ life-storytelling, a key text for those in African Humanities, Queer Studies, Religious Studies, and Refugee Studies. Presenting the deeply moving personal life stories of Ugandan LGBTQ+ refugees in Nairobi, Kenya alongside an analysis of the process in which they creatively engaged with two Bible stories - Daniel in the Lions' Den (Old Testament) and Jesus and the Woman Caught in Adultery (New Testament) - Sacred Queer Stories explores how readings of biblical stories can reveal their experiences of struggle, their hopes for the future, and their faith in God and humanity. Arguing that the telling of life-stories of marginalised people, such as of Ugandan LGBTQ+ refugees, affirms embodied existence and agency, is socially and politically empowering, and enables human solidarity, the authors also show how the Bible as an authoritative religious text and popular cultural archive in Africa is often used against LGBTQ+ people but can also be reclaimed as a site of meaning, healing, and empowerment. The result of a collaborative project between UK-based academics and a Nairobi-based organisation of Ugandan LGBTQ+ refugees, the book provides a valuable insight into the narrative politics and theologies of LGBTQ+ life-storytelling. A key text for those in African Humanities, Queer Studies, Religious Studies, and Refugee Studies, among others, the book expresses an innovative methodology of inter-reading queer life-stories and biblical stories.Trade ReviewSacred Queer Stories is a daring exposition of the relationship between LGBTQ+ experiences and religious stories that need to be further explored. Aside from recounting personal stories, the text has become an indispensable landmark for alternative interpretations of religious texts in Africa that position such texts as friendly and corrective rather than horrific and repelling -- African Studies Quarterly[A] remarkable example of academic research that centers the decolonization and democratization of a field of knowledge and its creators. * Reading Religion *In Sacred Queer Stories the authors reflect deeply on their positionality as white, UK-based scholars holding a power imbalance with their African participants. They distance themselves from the "white saviour" attitude of many scholars and activists from the Global North, and honour the work of LGBTQ+ African grassroots activists." -- Aminata Cécile Mbaye and Marc Epprecht * Canadian Journal of African Studies *Table of ContentsForeword, by Stella Nyanzi Introduction PART I: UGANDAN LGBTQ+ REFUGEE LIFE STORIES Story 1: It's my nature, this is who I am Story 2: It's not like heaven here Story 3: Here we are free to express ourselves without fear Story 4: I consider this as my new family Story 5: Personally, I think God is gay Story 6: Angels don't have a gender Story 7: God loves me more than they love me Story 8: I just wanted an opportunity to express myself Story 9: I was chased away from the garden of heaven Story 10: First and foremost, I want to be a free person Story 11: God has a purpose for us all Story 12: God doesn't make mistakes PART II: INTER-READING UGANDAN LGBTQ+ LIFE STORIES AND BIBLE STORIES 1.

The result of a collaborative project between UK-based academics and a Nairobi-based organisation of Ugandan LGBTQ+ refugees, the book provides a valuable insight into the narrative politics and theologies of LGBTQ+ life-storytelling. A key text for those in African Humanities, Queer Studies, Religious Studies, and Refugee Studies, among others, the book expresses an innovative methodology of inter-reading queer life-stories and biblical stories.Trade ReviewSacred Queer Stories is a daring exposition of the relationship between LGBTQ+ experiences and religious stories that need to be further explored. Aside from recounting personal stories, the text has become an indispensable landmark for alternative interpretations of religious texts in Africa that position such texts as friendly and corrective rather than horrific and repelling -- African Studies Quarterly[A] remarkable example of academic research that centers the decolonization and democratization of a field of knowledge and its creators. * Reading Religion *In Sacred Queer Stories the authors reflect deeply on their positionality as white, UK-based scholars holding a power imbalance with their African participants. They distance themselves from the "white saviour" attitude of many scholars and activists from the Global North, and honour the work of LGBTQ+ African grassroots activists." -- Aminata Cécile Mbaye and Marc Epprecht * Canadian Journal of African Studies *Table of ContentsForeword, by Stella Nyanzi Introduction PART I: UGANDAN LGBTQ+ REFUGEE LIFE STORIES Story 1: It's my nature, this is who I am Story 2: It's not like heaven here Story 3: Here we are free to express ourselves without fear Story 4: I consider this as my new family Story 5: Personally, I think God is gay Story 6: Angels don't have a gender Story 7: God loves me more than they love me Story 8: I just wanted an opportunity to express myself Story 9: I was chased away from the garden of heaven Story 10: First and foremost, I want to be a free person Story 11: God has a purpose for us all Story 12: God doesn't make mistakes PART II: INTER-READING UGANDAN LGBTQ+ LIFE STORIES AND BIBLE STORIES 1.

Book SynopsisThere has been little progress on the refugee problem because of official Palestinian public positions, other Arab countries' approach to the 'right of return' of all Palestinian refugees, and the contrasting Israeli public policy of not allowing any refugees to return to Israel. Such polar-opposite approaches can never resolve this difficult and longstanding humanitarian problem. By working collectively, the world's leading experts from Arab countries, the Palestinian Authority, Israel, Europe and the United States have developed a chessboard of proposed solutions. The volume in part reflects the polarization that exists on the issue, and in part moves away from the political slogans of both sides, toward concrete proposals for negotiating a comprehensive agreement.Trade Review"The editors note that the refugee debate is polarised between the Palestinian/Arab view that all refugees should be allowed to return to their original homes inside Israel, and the Israeli view that no refugees should return to Israel. The editors and contributors argue the case for 'realistic proposals for solving the refugee problem', but most of the contributors endorse at least in principle Palestinian maximal demands for a right of return... Shlomo Gazit is willing to financially compensate the refugees, but opposes any return to Israel... Yoav Gelber argues insightfully that the respective Palestinians and Israeli arguments about solutions are based on totally different cultural assumptions. The Israelis favour resettlement, which is the traditional European approach to refugee populations, while the Arabs favour repatriation, which is the traditional pattern in the Middle East." -- The Australian Jewish News.Table of ContentsContents: Foreword by HRH Prince El Hassan bin Talal of Jordan; Introduction: Traditional Positions and New Solutions; PART I: The Historical Background and the Right of Return' -- The Historical Background; Between the Right of Return and Attempts of Resettlement; From a Doctrine-Oriented to a Solution-Oriented Policy: The PLO's Right of Return,' 1964-2000; The Political Refugee Problem in the Light of the Peace Process; Early US Policy toward Palestinian Refugees: The Syria Option; Refugee Compensation: Responsibility, Recipients, and Forms and Sources; Refugee Compensation: Why the Parties Have Been Unable to Agree and Why it is Important to Compensate Refugees for Losses; Traditional Positions and New Solutions; Actual Repatriation: A Minimal Israeli Gesture; From Refugees to Citizens: A Regional Proposal; Palestinian Refugees in Jordan and National Identity, 1948--1999; Final Status Negotiations and Regional Co-operation; Refugee Resettlement in the Gaza Strip: Israeli Policy Revisited; Palestinian Refugees in Lebanon since 1982; The Future of Palestinian Refugees in Lebanon; PART II: Policy Positions and Solutions -- Solving the Refugee Problem: An Israeli Point of View; A Predicament in Search of an Innovative Solution; The Historical Development of the Refugee Camps in Jordan; The Role of UNRWA: Refugee Statistics and UN Resolutions; A Jordanian Perspective; The Refugee Question and Human Rights; Obstacles and Opportunities: The Ideological Dimensions; The Economic Capacity of the Palestinian State to Absorb the Refugees: The Employment Perspective; How the Palestinian and Israeli-Jewish Publics Perceive the Issues; Index.

Book SynopsisThe Battle to Stay in America is the story of a community coming to grips with the federal government's crackdown on immigrants and learning how to defend itself. Informative and personal, this is a story about mothers and fathers, lawyers and activists, local police and federal agencies, and a struggle for the identity of a nation. This is the quintessential story of the war on immigrants, as fought and felt on the front lines in the heart of America.Trade ReviewReviewed by the New York Review of Books:The destructive impact of this enforcement regime on day-to-day life in immigrant communities is described with refreshing clarity and heart by Michael Kagan in The Battle to Stay in America. Kagan, a law professor at the University of Nevada at Las Vegas, tells stories of his neighbors and of clients at the university law clinic he runs. He provides an unusually accessible primer on immigration law and a valuable guide to the ways it currently works to perpetuate an excluded immigrant underclass with diminished rights."Table of Contents Preface: A Note About Word Choice Introduction 1 Part I: The Targets 1 The Graveyards of Nevada 11 2 Plan B 25 3 The Cleaners 43 Part II: The Attack 4 The Unaccompanied 61 5 Two Arrests 79 6 Psychological Warfare 92 Part III: The Defense 7 How to Talk to Your Neighbors About Immigration 111 8 The Strip Mall Resistance 129 9 Dirty Immigration Lawyers 146 10 The Coming Battle 160 Acknowledgments 169 Glossary 171 Notes 175 Bibliography 187 Index 000 About the Author 197

Book SynopsisChildren and youth are front and center in the context of global mass migration and the social discord around questions of multicultural inclusion that it often ignites. Imprecise portrayals of their inclination to either embrace diversity or to incite racism are used to exemplify both the success and failures of the multicultural project. In the context of young people’s heightened politicization, Open Access volume Belonging and Becoming in a Multicultural World shifts the focus to a group of Sudanese and Karen refugee youth’s own insights, explanations and practices as they attempt to create a sense of identity and belonging in Australia. These young people engage race, racism and national identity in creative and unexpected ways as they are confronted with the social and moral implications of multiculturalism.Download open access ebook. Trade ReviewBelonging and Becoming in a Multicultural World is a wonderfully fresh account of how refugee-background youth challenge, invert, and identify with racialized and ethnicized identity categories and navigate difference in their daily lives. The book foregrounds the voices of young people themselves, offering a much-needed counter-narrative to the all-too-often calcified identity constructs that animate much political discussion today. More than anything, it offers a rich account of the narrative forces that shape how diverse young people are able to realize a sense of belonging in a multicultural society. -- Amanda Wise * Coeditor of Convivialities: Possibility and Ambivalence in Urban Multicultures *“This book offers a rich ethnography of the lives of refugee youth in a culturally diverse world. Eschewing both celebratory multiculturalism and a narrow focus on racism, the book deftly examines the ways race and friendship are woven together in the identity-making practices of young refugees. Moran insightfully foregrounds the importance of understanding the ‘responsive’ nature of identity in forging a sense of place and belonging in culturally diverse schools.” -- Greg Noble * Coeditor of Convivialities: Possibility and Ambivalence in Urban Multicultures *"Laura Moran’s work is innovative, well researched and engaging. It reminds us of the importance of micro-perspective, accounts of young people and the meanings young people give to broad social narratives they encounter and shows the value of extensive ethnographic fieldwork." * Ethnic and Racial Studies *"New Books Network: New Books in Anthropology" interview with Laura Moran * New Books Network: New Books in Anthropology *"The book is exceptionally legible and accessible, is written clearly and concisely, and is available as an Open Access volume.

Book SynopsisThe focus of this book is on the experiences of government-sponsored refugees in the early stages of integrating into Canadian society. Combining data gleaned from a longitudinal study of relatively recently arrived refugees in Calgary, Canada, with a close focus on the case of a physician from Colombia and his family, this volume illustrates how the cultural and social capital of refugees is marginalized and, in some cases, erased by the undervaluing of their education, training, credentials, and other knowledge. The findings presented in the book underscore the importance of addressing the challenge of integrating highly trained professionals into the professions for which they are credentialed.Trade Review“This book is intended for researchers, teachers, and language policies makers. It demystifies the linguistic, social, and economic conditions of refugee families in Canada. It is an excellent example for researching the changes in the social and cultural capital of migrants, indigenous peoples, and transnational families in other countries.” (Lorena Córdova-Hernández, Language Policy, Vol. 21, 2022)Table of ContentsChapter 1: The ProblemChapter 2: The Researcher and the Researched Chapter 3: The Study Chapter 4: The Martinez Family Chapter 5: Robert and Jacqueline Chapter 6: Challenges and a Way Forward

Book SynopsisDuring World War II, London experienced not just the Blitz and the arrival of continental refugees, but also an influx of displaced foreign governments. Drawing together renowned historians from nine countries--the United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Poland, the former Yugoslavia, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia--this book explores life in exile as experienced by the governments of Czechoslovakia and other occupied nations who found refuge in the British capital. Through new archival research and fresh historical interpretations, chapters delve into common characteristics and differences in the origin and structure of the individual governments-in-exile in an attempt to explain how they dealt with pressing social and economic problems at home while abroad; how they were able to influence crucial Allied diplomatic negotiations; the relative importance of armies, strategic commodities, and equipment that particular governments-in-exile were able to offer to the allied war effort; important wartime propaganda; and early preparations for addressing postwar minority issues.
