"Millions of people are displaced each year by war, persecution, and famine and the global refugee population continues to grow. Canada has often been regarded as a benevolent country, welcoming refugees from around the globe. However, refugees have encountered varying kinds of reception in Canada. Finding Refuge in Canada: Narratives of Dislocation is a collection of personal narratives about the refugee experience in Canada. It includes critical perspectives from authors from diverse backgrounds, including refugees, advocates, front-line workers, private sponsors, and civil servants. The narratives collected here confront dominant public discourse about refugee identities and histories and provide deep insight into the social, political, and cultural challenges and opportunities that refugees experience in Canada. Contributors consider Canada's response to various groups of refugees and how Canadian perspectives on war, conflict, and peace are constructed through the refugee support experience. These individual stories humanize the global refugee crisis and challenge readers to reflect on the transformative potential of more equitable policies and processes."-- Back cover.

Die Aufnahme Tausender »Fremder« im Sommer 2015 wurde medial euphorisiert als »deutsches Wunder« beschrieben. Die Geflüchteten selbst tauchten in dieser Perspektive kaum auf. Dem Narrativ der »Willkommenskultur« folgte ein Wechselbad der Diskurse hin zum drohenden Staatsversagen, der Belastungsgrenze oder sexueller Übergriffe. Dabei ging es primär um die Befindlichkeit der Nation und der »Flüchtling« wurde zum Verursacher nationaler Bedrängnisse. Uwe Becker analysiert diese Diskurse und zeichnet nach, welche Narrative sich im »langen Sommer der Flucht« aufgebaut haben. Dabei zeigt er auf, wie sie im kollektiven Gedächtnis ruhen, jederzeit aktivierbar sind und bis heute eine restriktive Flüchtlingspolitik legitimieren.

"Due to Greece's geographical position and socio-political background, the country is at the heart of the migration phenomenon. As such, Refugee Crisis: Global Perspectives, Challenges and Issues first reviews the new technologies by which the borders of Greece are secured. The authors study and analyze the phenomenon of irregular immigration, particularly with respect to its causes and potential security issues. Continuing, this compilation seeks to determine the diversity of Estonian-language and Russian-language discourses in the context of immigration-related issues, questioning whether the refugee crisis has influenced the political identities of the dominant majority and the Russian-speaking minority in Estonia. The collaborative projects of UNHCR-Pakistan related to Afghan refugee children's education in Pakistan are explored, aiming to assess the actions that have been taken by Pakistan for Afghan refugees. The refugee migration from Syria has been called the humanitarian crisis of our time. In closing, after examining other System Dynamics models that relate to the refugee crisis, the authors build a model to incorporate a sub-model of the Syrian civil war, along with a sub-model of the movement of refugees and their eventual immigration"--

The effects of the intra-African and European deportation regimes brought about since the European Union's externalization of its migration and development policy by transferring it to countries of sub-Saharan Africa remain largely understudied - especially their effects on people's everyday life after forced returns. Based on extensive field research, Susanne U. Schultz's book analyses the supposedly "failed" migration of Malian men, the social situations in which they find themselves following deportation, and the implications of their "failure" for their social environment and broader society. This important ethnographic study creates empirical knowledge on key issues in migration research, policy, and practice in the context of a charged debate.
