This book paints a humanizing account of making do amid legal marginalization, prolonged insecurity, and the proliferation of digital technologies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e“…well-grounded in the complex realities and frustrations of Twigt’s interlocutors, giving the reader key insights into the understandings and expectations displaced Iraqis have of the UNHCR in Jordan... The author paints a detailed picture of the digital lives of refugees outside Europe, showing diverse forms of waiting in the digital space that go beyond the traditionally researched sites of queues, camps, and job centres in forced migration studies. In this way, the book illustrates the crucial mediation between material realities and digital geographies for refugees that should inform how we frame displaced communities in the Global South and beyond.”\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e• Journal of Refugee Studies\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e“This is an excellent, innovative and urgent book detailing and theorizing the mediated sense-making practices of refugees negotiating prolonged situations of displacement.”\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e• Koen Leurs\u003c\/strong\u003e, Utrecht University\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e“Tackles an important dimension of refugee experience, focusing specifically on the lives of Iraqi urban refugees in Amman.
