This important new book explores the contemporary refugee crisis and the untold realities and experiences of refugees themselves. A team of top scholars offer a critical and necessary diagnosis of the challenges, complexities, and contradictions impacting our philosophical approaches to the contemporary figure of the refugee. This important new book examines the status of refugees from a philosophical perspective. The contributors explore the conditions faced by refugees and clarify the conceptual, practical, and ethical issues confronting the contemporary global community with respect to refugees. The book takes up topics ranging from practical matters, such as the social and political production of refugees, refugee status and the tension between citizen rights and human rights, and the handling of detention and deportation, to more conceptual and theoretical concerns, such as the ideology, rhetoric, and propaganda that sustain systems of exclusion and expulsion, to the ethical dimensions that invoke hospitality and transnational responsibility. Ideal for students and scholars in Political and Social Philosophy and Migration Studies more broadly, the book provides a critical commentary on material responses to contemporary refugee crises as a means of opening pathways to more pointed assessments of both the political and ideological underpinnings of statelessness.

Industry Reviews

Far from being a demographic problem, the so-called refugee crisis is a moral and even more political challenge to the foundational values and principles of the international community - from dignity to hospitality, from human rights to humanitarian reason. This is what this beautifully constructed polyphonic opus convincingly demonstrates, making it an urgent reading for anyone concerned by the tragic fate of exiles in the contemporary world. -- Didier Fassin, Professor of Social Science, Institute for Advanced Study
