Forced Migration: Current Issues and Debates
Editat de Alice Bloch, Giorgia Donaen Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 aug 2018
The book is structured around three main current themes: the reconfiguration of borders including virtual borders, the expansion of prolonged exile, and changes in protection and access to rights. The first chapters in the collection provide both context and a theoretical overview by situating current debates and issues in their historical context including the evolution of field and the impact of the colonial and post-colonial world order on forced migration and forced displacement. These are followed by chapters framed around substantive issues including deportation and forced return; protracted displacements; securitising the Mediterranean and cross-border migration practices; refugees in global cities; forced migrants in the digital age; and second-generation identity and transnational practices.
Forced Migration offers an original contribution to a growing field of study, connecting theoretical ideas and empirical research with policy, practice and the lived experiences of forced migrants. The volume provides a solid foundation, for students, academics and policy makers, of the main questions being asked in contemporary debates in forced migration.

Recenzii
"This compelling anthology of case studies and critical reflections by an international group of scholars surveys the major issues around forced migration. Readers who want to understand the experiences of people pushed from their homes and government strategies of control will see farther and more clearly through the authors’ lenses."
- David Scott FitzGerald, Co-Director, Center for Comparative Immigration Studies, University of California-San Diego
"This collection of essays from leading figures in forced migration studies provides critical analysis that is as piercing and relevant as it is thoughtful. It encompasses some of the most intractable and contemporary problems of forced migration - urban displacement, protracted refugees, and forced return - with fresh insights. Uniting the various contributions is a deep concern for the clear emergence of expanded precarity and reduced rights, which appear as cause and effect of so much displacement in today's world. Indeed, these can be seen as unifying features in the experiences of most displaced people. This book shines a light on these experiences, and the processes which render those who are forced to move ever more vulnerable. This should be required reading for all migration studies students and scholars, as well as for policymakers and practitioners whose work involves any aspect of work on forced migration."
- Laura Hammond, Professor, Department of Development Studies, School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS)
"This volume is a welcome contribution to our understanding of the increasingly complex field of forced migration. Addressing the many challenges confronting forced migrants and those who support and live in communities alongside forced migrants, in a variety of contexts today, the volume points to the urgent need to re-conceptualise forced migration as well as the legal frameworks with which to respond. The collection will be of great value to academics, policy makers, and a broad range of professionals".
