This book is a collective effort by sociologists, geographers, anthropologists, political scientists, historians, migration studies scholars to develop new ways of thinking about forced displacement. We 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. Our work opens critical discussions of forced displacement, bringing it into conversation with other contemporary issues in different disciplines such as urbanization, securitization, race and imperialism. The book brings together different regions and countries into dialogue with each other- from Latin America, to sub-Saharan Africa, Europe, North America, South and South-East Asia. The book while being of particular interest to scholars of forced migration would be an important text for those interested in studying the intersection between displacement and contemporary political, social and economic issues.
