Reviews

'Displacement advances our understanding of forced migration by accentuating the transnational, historical and interdisciplinary lenses through which the field could be conceptualised and theoretically enriched. Through profound and thought-provoking chapters, it goes beyond its promise of circumventing disciplinary siloes to arouse readers’ curiosity about other potential areas of inquiry that could be problematised in relation to forced migration. Thus, Displacement will appeal not only to scholars, students and practitioners within the field of forced migration, but also to those working across a number of other disciplines and areas of study.' Husne Akgol, LSE Review of Books 'It promotes interdisciplinary dialogue, establishing connections with broader discussions on power, rights, redistribution, recognition, and justice. Such a multidisciplinary approach allows urban anthropology of refugee camps and moral anthropology of asylum seekers. It also highlights the connection between Race relations and Refugee studies.'
