Families are actors and drivers in migration and refugee crises. However, the current protection frameworks privilege the individual over the family unit. Consequently, the stories of families in migration have remained under-researched and their challenges under-addressed. This volume explores the interplay between family, separation, and migration in the Middle East, West Africa, Southeast Asia, Europe, and Latin America, and in the context of the 2015 global refugee crisis. Guiding it are two questions: How do family, migration, and separation play out across geographical, political, and historical contexts? And what are the gaps in the protection of migrants and their families? Thirteen authors ¿ academics and practitioners ¿ discuss the international protection for refugees, migration governance, child mobility, disability and immigration, human trafficking, and dilemmas in refugee reporting. The book proposes a paradigm shift in the way we cater to the needs and aspirations of families on the move. Its authors offer evidence-based solutions that cut across polarized discussions on migration and refugees. As such, the volume is aimed at researchers, students, policymakers, and experts working in international relations, migration, human rights, and refugee protection.

The public culture of the receiving society and the dominant understanding of belonging and political membership can influence the social participation of immigrants as much as immigration law. However, current discussions of integration focus primarily on the distribution of rights and neglect the role of tacit knowledge. Through a systematical and philosophical analysis of identity's role in policy-making, governance and social practice, Bodi Wang shows how a one-sided understanding of integration resembles »assimilation« and why integration should be expected from locals as well. Weaving together extensive findings in sociology, history, critical race theory and Chinese philosophy with ethics and migration studies, this book provides a compelling argument for adopting the concept of »mutual integration« to overcome injustice and to enhance social solidarity.
Today the UNHCR is present in more than 130 countries and takes care of some 90 million people. This book looks at how it is deployed and who its agents are. By taking the reader through the offices in charge of the Afghan refugee crisis during the 2000s, in Geneva and in Kabul, the book shows the internal functioning of this international organization. It provides analysis of Afghan refugee policies from an original position, with the author being both agency official and anthropologist, and articulates multiple levels of analysis: the micropolitics of practices as much as the institution and the multi-scalar power relations that shape its environment.

"Red Crow became the leader of the Bloods in 1870...the story of the chief's life as told by him in 1890 to R.N. Wilson...a story of horse stealing and many battles but it also shows the chief had mercy." -Calgary Herald, Feb. 17, 1967"As chief, Red Crow was always ready to defend Blood territory...in 1871 he led 60 warriors on a strike on a Crow camp...won most of the battles of his life." -Edmonton Journal, July 1, 2005"Red Crow, a lineal descendent of the great Blood chieftains, was the most powerful and respected chief to enter the Treaty Seven negotiations." - Medicine that Walks: Disease, Medicine and Canadian Plains Native People (2001)"In the shadowy corner of history stands a mighty figure ¿ Red Crow of the numerous and powerful Bloods...a notable and eminently successful warrior...the hero of more than 30 principal adventures (as he is recorded to have told them to the late R.N. Wilson)." -Calgary Herald, Jan. 14, 1956Why did Chief Red Crow of the Bloods tribe lead his warriors and Blackfeet allies on numerous raids against the neighboring Gros Ventre, Snake, Nez Percé, and Crow tribes in the regions surrounding Montana?In 1891, Chief Red Crow (c. 1830 - August 28, 1900) would dictate his life story to Robert Nathaniel Wilson (1863-1944) who had served with the Northwest Mounted Police at Fort MacLeod in Alberta. Red Crow's biography would be published in written form in 1891 by Wilson as "The Life and Adventures of Red Crow, Formerly Head Chief of the Bloods." It would go on to be reprinted in various publications over the years.Red Crow was born in Kainai territory in modern Alberta to Black Bear and Handsome Woman, and was a descendant of tribal chiefs. He earned a reputation as a warrior during raids against other Indigenous groups in the 1840s and 1850s. As indicated in his biography, Red Crow engaged in 33, sometimes ruthless, episodes against Crees, Crows, Snakes, and Nez Percés. That Red Crow combined boldness with caution is indicated by is final statement: "I was never struck by an enemy in my life, with bullet, arrow, axe, spear, or knife."
Syrian refugees who gained asylum in Germany following the so-called refugee crisis in 2015 quickly entered into an 'integration regime' which produced a binary notion of 'well integrated' migrants versus refugees falling short of the narrow social and political definitions of a 'good' refugee. Etzel's rich ethnographic study shows how refugees navigated this conditional inclusion. While some asylum seekers gained international protection, others were left with limited agency to demand government accountability for the ever-moving target of integration. Putting a spotlight on the inconsistencies and failings of a universal approach to integration, this is an important contribution to the wider field of migration and anthropology of the state.
Said Al-Wahid har altid sit pas på sig, selv når han skal i supermarkedet. På vej hjem fra en oplæsning får han besked om, at hans mor ligger for døden, og derfor rejser han for første gang i årevis tilbage til sit hjemland, Irak.Jo tættere Said kommer på sin familie i Bagdad, jo dybere stikker hans erindringer. De bevæger sig tilbage til årene før hans ankomst til Tyskland, til de måneder, han tilbragte på flugt gennem Afrika og mod Europa, og helt tilbage til øjeblikke fra hans barndom i Irak.Men hvilke erindringer gør os til dem, vi er? Hvilke minder mangler, hvilke er forvrængede, og hvilke er det pure opspind? Said ved det ikke længere, og måske er det årsagen til, han overhovedet er i live.Erindringsforfalskeren er en bevægende og poetisk roman, som rummer et helt liv. Bogen er skrevet af Abbas Khider, der blev født i Bagdad i 1973. Som 19-årig blev han fængslet på grund af sine politiske aktiviteter. Efter sin løsladelse flygtede han fra Irak og opholdt sig efterfølgende i flere forskellige lande, inden han i år 2000 bosatte sig i Tyskland, hvor han har studeret litteratur og filosofi. Hans romaner har modtaget adskillige priser og opnået stor international anerkendelse. Med udgivelsen af Erindringsforfalskeren er det første gang, man kan læse Khider i dansk oversættelse.
Tale of Ahmed is a gripping fictional account of the dangerous journey of a teenage boy, Ahmed, who travels from Afghanistan, across the Middle East and Europe, to seek refuge in England.Author Henry Cockburn lives at one end of a long trail stretching from Afghanistan to the southeast coast of England. His home in Kent is close to where small, frail boats arrive bringing refugees on the last lap of their 6,000-mile journey from Kabul and the Hindu Kush. Meeting and talking with refugees, Henry became aware that even they themselves rarely understand the heroic nature of their odyssey. The journey's never-ending risks have become second nature to them. For most other people, they are simply unknown. Correcting such misperceptions is one of the objectives of this powerful story.Written in the form of an epic poem and richly illustrated by the author, Tale of Ahmed describes how its eponymous hero gets help from fellow travelers and finds unexpected friends along the way. But Ahmed is also exploited for money by crooks and cheats, as well as targeted as a pariah. This unusual and unputdownable fable recounts with great sensitivity the Afghans' sufferings and their courage and resilience in making a grueling passage.

Sometimes it only takes a stranger in a dark place... to say we have the right to be here, to make us warm in the coldest season. In 2019, Neil Gaiman asked his Twitter followers: What reminds you of warmth? Over 1,000 responses later, Neil began to weave replies from across the world into a poem in aid of the UNHCR's winter appeal. It revealed our shared desire to feel safe, welcome and warm in a world that can often feel frightening and lonely.Now publishing in hardback and illustrated by a group of artists from around the world, What You Need to Be Warm is an exploration of displacement and flight from conflict through the objects and memories that represent warmth. It is about our right to feel safe, whoever we are and wherever we are from. It is about holding out a hand to welcome those who find themselves far from home. Featuring new, original illustrations from Chris Riddell, Benji Davies, Yuliya Gwilym, Nadine Kaadan, Daniel Egnéus, Pam Smy, Petr Horácek, Beth Suzanna, Bagram Ibatoulline, Marie-Alice Harel, Majid Adin and Richard Jones, with a thought-provoking cover from Oliver Jeffers.Sales of every copy of this book will help support the work of UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, which helps forcibly displaced communities and stateless people across the world.

A woman who sewed her city into a dress. A musician who rescued his ancient songs. A couple who rebuilt their pharmacy. In an era of mass migration, journalist Stephanie Saldana crosses nine countries to give voice to stories from the people of Iraq and Syria about hope, home, and what they rescued from war when everything else had been lost.
Against the backdrop of brutal invasion, it is much easier for right-wing figures to target marginalised groups, and during wartime the queer community is exceedingly vulnerable to persecution, scapegoating and censorship. Being visibly queer in Ukraine is an act of rebellion in itself, but LGBTQI+ people find ways to express themselves against all odds, to create beyond all constraints.And what is queerness without defiance - the linking of arms, the echo of a hundred voices? Every voice tells a story, and this anthology is a platform for these voices, an archive of their existence. It is time for them to tell their stories on their own terms - and for the rest of the world to stand in solidarity with them. Proceeds from the sales of this book go to a selection of charities supporting LGBTQI+ people in Ukraine. The list is periodically reviewed so that funds go to where they're most sorely needed, but includes: TU Platform Mariupol (Supporting queer youth), Queers For Ukraine (Supporting people with HIV in Ukraine and delivering much-needed hormones for the trans community) and Insight NGO (Humanitarian Aid for the LGBTQI+ community in Ukraine).
