Migrations in Jordan is an outstanding contribution to the Refugee Studies literature. Localising the transnational, this groundbreaking collection of interdisciplinary essays provides invaluable insights not only into processes of refugee-making, but also into the ways refugees have shaped, and continue to do so, Jordan’s urban and social environment over time and space. * Jordi Tejel, Professor, University of Neuchâtel, Switzerland *

Migrations in Jordan is an outstanding contribution to the Refugee Studies literature. Localising the transnational, this groundbreaking collection of interdisciplinary essays provides invaluable insights not only into processes of refugee-making, but also into the ways refugees have shaped, and continue to do so, Jordan’s urban and social environment over time and space. * Jordi Tejel, Professor, University of Neuchâtel, Switzerland * This volume is an exciting contribution to understanding the extent to which migration – largely forced – has become integral to the evolving nature of the state in the Levant. Focussing on Jordan, the authors of this edited book historicize, excavate, and (re)construct the way in which movements of people from the Caucuses to North Africa engage with the state, with each other, and with their networks in places of origin. Grounded in disciplines as diverse as anthropology, architecture, geography, history, political science and sociology , this volume, made up of contributions largely of European and Jordanian scholars, showcases the interactive relations developed between the migrant and the host society in a contexts of crisis or conflict. * Dawn Chatty, Professor, University of Oxford , UK * With multiple contributors casting a long historic light on the capacities of the state to manage each wave of refugees, the resulting exposé of policies expands readers' understanding of the complexities of constant adjustment. * Choice *
