Refugees & political asylum; Penology & punishment

Series: Histoire

How did and does the fate of refugees unfold in internment camps? The contributors facilitate an extensive engagement with the organized, state led, and forced placement of refugees in the past and present. They show the parallels and differences between the practices and types of internment in different countries - while considering the specific historical contexts. Moreover, they highlight the nexus of relationships and agencies which constitute the camps in question as transitory spaces. The contributions consist of analyses of local phenomena or case studies as well as comparative engagements from an international and/or historical perspective.

Reviews for Internment Refugee Camps: Historical and Contemporary Perspectives

»An expertly researched, in-depth, and compelling addition to the scholarly literature on the organised, state-led, and forced (dis)placement of refugees. It will not only be a valuable reference for academics and students but also offer important lessons for aid practitioners, interested in a comprehensive overview of the important effects, challenges, and contexts that characterize this rapidly expanding field of research and practice.« Gabriel/le du Plessis, Ethnic and Racial Studies, 17.10.2023 »A thought-provoking volume that helps us understand the complexities of an institution that has returned, inforce, to our contemporary world.« Aidan Forth, Francia recensio, 3 (2023)
