\"\"World Refugee Day (June 20)<\/strong> honors those who leave everything behind to escape war, persecution, or terror. This day celebrates the courage and resilience of refugees, asylum seekers, internally displaced persons, stateless persons, and returnees, as the plight of those fleeing conflict is often met with overwhelming uncertainty and assault on human rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

In the spirit of World Refugee Day, please see new and featured titles in Refugee and Migration Studies<\/a> below, including volumes in our growing Forced Migration<\/a> series. In addition, we would like to highlight our journal, Migration and Society<\/a>, which is a part of the Berghahn Open Anthro initiative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

STRUCTURES OF PROTECTION?<\/a>
Rethinking Refugee Shelter<\/strong>
Edited by Tom Scott-Smith and Mark E. Breeze<\/em>

Questioning what shelter is and how we can define it, this volume brings together essays on different forms of refugee shelter, with a view to widening public understanding about the lives of forced migrants and developing theoretical understanding of this oft-neglected facet of the refugee experience. Drawing on a range of disciplines, including sociology, anthropology, law, architecture, and history, each of the chapters describes a particular shelter and uses this to open up theoretical reflections on the relationship between architecture, place, politics, design and displacement.

REFUGEE RESETTLEMENT<\/a>
Power, Politics, and Humanitarian Governance<\/strong>
Edited by Ad\u00e8le Garnier, Liliana Lyra Jubilut, and Kristin Bergtora Sandvik<\/em>

Examining resettlement practices worldwide and drawing on contributions from anthropology, law, international relations, social work, political science, and numerous other disciplines, this ground-breaking volume highlights the conflicts between refugees\u2019 needs and state practices, and assesses international, regional and national perspectives on resettlement, as well as the bureaucracies and ideologies involved. It offers a detailed understanding of resettlement, from the selection of refugees to their long-term integration in resettling states, and highlights the relevance of a lifespan approach to resettlement analysis.

GENDER, VIOLENCE, REFUGEES<\/a>
Edited by Susanne Buckley-Zistel and Ulrike Krause<\/em>

\u201cAt a time when war is one of many causes of forced displacement, <\/em>Gender, Violence, Refugees is an essential volume. The work\u2019s chapters will encourage the reader to question her assumptions about forced migration, produce new avenues for research, and incentivize humanitarian interventions that do not reproduce stereotypes of refugee communities but rather incorporate \u2018bottom-up\u2019 approaches informed by the unique experiences and the long trajectories of migrants.\u201d<\/em> \u2022 Border Criminologies Blog<\/strong>, University of Oxford

MIGRATION BY BOAT<\/a>
Discourses of Trauma, Exclusion and Survival<\/strong>
Edited by Lynda Mannik<\/em>

\u201cAs a whole, this collection constitutes an insightful examination of the contradictions between representations and lived experiences of migration by boat. The volume will be of particular interest to scholars working on migration and borders, but, by providing ample case studies of historical and contemporary representations of migration by boat, it also will appeal to academics interested in media and communication studies.\u201d<\/em> \u2022 Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute (JRAI)<\/strong>

THE AGENDAS OF TIBETAN REFUGEES<\/a>
Survival Strategies of a Government-in-Exile in a World of International Organizations<\/strong>
Thomas Kauffmann<\/em>

Since the arrival of the first Tibetans in exile in 1959, a vast and continuous wave of international \u2013 especially Western \u2013 support has permitted these refugees to survive and even to flourish in their temporary places of residence. Today, these Tibetan refugees continue to attract assistance from Western governments, organizations and individuals, while other refugee populations are largely forgotten in the international agenda. This book shows and discusses how Tibetan refugees continue to attract resources, due, notably, to the dissemination of their political and religious agendas, as well as how a movement of Western supporters, born in very different conditions, guaranteed a unique relationship with these refugees.
