"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.

The journeys and experiences of refugees and migrants are deeply complex and highly varied. It takes critical reflections from a diverse range of fields and angles to communicate the nuanced tangles of power structures and inequalities on local, national, and international levels. Bringing (?) together over thirty contributions, Refuge in a Moving World discusses migration and displacement from a kaleidoscopic collection of voices. Through interdisciplinary lenses, the contributors explore the ways that different people experience and respond to their own situations and to those of other people. Refuge in a Moving World combines vital reflections on the intricacies of conceptualizing experiences of forced migration and how people inhabit and negotiate everyday life. Ultimately, Refuge in a Moving World argues that working collaboratively to share experiences of migration and displacement fosters more sustainable responses to our moving world.

Il volume ricostruisce, avvalendosi di un ampio scavo archivistico, uno degli aspetti meno noti dell'esilio risorgimentale: il sequestro dei patrimoni di coloro che furono costretti ad abbandonare il suolo patrio. Nel 1853, quando il feldmaresciallo Radetzky, governatore generale del Regno Lombardo-Veneto, impartì l'ordine di sequestrare i beni degli esuli politici, la macchina amministrativa asburgica si mise lentamente in moto, impossessandosi temporaneamente delle loro fortune. Privati delle consuete rendite, gli uomini e le donne trasferitisi oltreconfine furono profondamente toccati dai provvedimenti di sequestro, che fornirono nuovi argomenti alla leggenda nera del malgoverno austriaco sulle province italiane dell'impero. Queste pagine ripercorrono quelle vicende da una prospettiva economica, sociale e giuridica, indagandole nell'agire dell'amministrazione austriaca, nelle traversie degli emigrati colpiti dai provvedimenti e nelle difficoltà delle loro famiglie rimaste in patria. Ne emerge un quadro vivido, nel quale il legame tra politica e proprietà si esplicita in un intreccio tra controllo pubblico, prassi burocratica e strategie famigliari.
