Reviews

This is a must-read collection that will stand as a pivotal reference point in the field. Camps Revisited is innovative in its theorisations of the camp as a key political technology and comprehensive in its geopolitical mapping of the globe's camp archipelagos. This book reveals the camp's entangled complexities, multidimensional uses and its contested relations of power. -- Joseph Pugliese, Professor, Department of Media, Music, Communication and Cultural Studies, Macquarie University

This book reveals the camp's entangled complexities, multidimensional uses and its contested relations of power. -- Joseph Pugliese, Professor, Department of Media, Music, Communication and Cultural Studies, Macquarie University This book is an urgent intervention into the spatial, political and juridical spaces of camps. It analyses camps as historical and contemporary structures, as a space that is contingent and ubiquitous, urban and makeshift. Above all, it makes us recognize how camps are now a central feature of our political and geographical lives. -- Shailja Sharma, Professor of International Studies and Director of Refugee and Forced Migration Studies, DePaul University Reflecting on the development of camps the world over, Camps Revisited offers an important and extremely timely analysis of how to understand the formation, mutation, potentiality, and limits of the camp as a political and spatial technology. Addressing questions of governance, activism, informality, and insurgency, this collection offers a rich source for developing a critical politics of the camp. -- Jonathan Darling, Assistant Professor in the Department of Geography, Durham University For containment, control, protest, or protection, camps have become an ubiquitous presence in contemporary world. This must-read collection offers a theoretically astute and empirically rich exploration of camps, their functions and purposes across continents and time. -- Nando Sigona, Reader in International Migration and Forced Displacement, University of Birmingham
