Drawing on research in a range of regions - from Latin America, to
Europe, sub-Saharan Africa, North America, post-Soviet regions, and
South and South-East Asia - Displacement offers an interdisciplinary and
transnational approach to thinking about structures, spaces, and lived
experiences of displacement. The contributors engage in a historical,
transnational, interdisciplinary dialogue to offer different ways of
theorizing about refugees, internally displaced persons, stateless
people and others that have been forcibly displaced. Representing a
collective effort by sociologists, geographers, anthropologists,
political scientists, historians and migration studies scholars, this
volume develops new cross-regional conversations and theoretically
innovative vocabularies in the work on forced displacement. It also
draws forced displacement together with other contemporary issues across
different disciplines such as urbanisation, race, and imperialism.
