Who are refugees and other displaced peoples?What are the real risks and benefits of receiving them?How do we balance compassion and security?

Lauren Collins on the more than a hundred thousand minors, mostly from Syria and Afghanistan, who have travelled unaccompanied across continents in search of asylum in Europe.
This book provides an explanation for the fundamental disagreement pertaining to immigration and asylum in Europe. Since the collapse of consensus with the end of the Cold War, immigration and asylum have increasingly emerged as a central socio-political issue in Europe. The present work attempts to move beyond the complexity of 'managing' migratory flows by focusing on the most daunting issues arising from the response to the 'refugee crisis' in Europe. This debate is intimately connected to borders, security, belonging, citizenship and labour precarity/inequality. The book addresses some crucial dimensions related to the migration and asylum dissensus by providing an integrated frame of analysis from the point of view of resistance, rather than that of power. It connects notions of belonging and the migrant integration with the processes of de-democratisation, racist populism, citizenship and authoritarian migration regimes, and contributes towards a theory of the asylum and immigration dissensus by examining the potential for transition towards a society of equality and rights. The author proposes that the encounter(s) with surplus populations in Europe, which result in the multiplication of liminal regimes as well as spaces for resistance, generates potential for social imaginaries, promising a society unimaginable in previous epochs. This book will be of much interest to students of migration and border studies, global governance, European politics and International Relations. | Author: Nicos Trimikliniotis | Publisher: Routledge | Publication Date: Sep 26, 2019 | Number of Pages: 242 pages | Language: English | Binding: Hardcover | ISBN-10: 1138335118 | ISBN-13: 9781138335110

The refugees won't all make it to Norway. Nor does the Norway they seek exist.
The word “migration,” evoking the vast movement of animals in mysterious accord with nature and the seasons, is too gentle a term for the surges of human mobility across the planet. But that is the term often used to characterize any number of humanitarian crises, in South and Central America, Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and in the United States. In these days of nationalist fears and tightening borders, it’s not unusual for migrants to become trapped in limbo, unable to move forward, fearful to turn back—or sold like chattel. The Pulitzer Center supports journalism that explores the various factors—including climate, religion, and conflict—that drive global migration. Our grantees look at the sacrifices immigrants make in leaving behind a lifetime, the risks they take, and the obstacles they encounter.

The global crisis of forced displacement is growing every year. At the same time, Western Christians' sympathy toward refugees is increasingly overshadowed by concerns about personal and national security, economics, and culture. We urgently need a perspective that understands both Scripture and current political realities and that can be applied at the levels of the church, the nation, and the globe. In Refuge Reimagined, Mark R. Glanville and Luke Glanville offer a new approach to compassion for displaced people: a biblical ethic of kinship. God's people, they argue, are consistently called to extend kinship—a mutual responsibility and solidarity—to those who are marginalized and without a home. Drawing on their respective expertise in Old Testament studies and international relations, the two brothers engage a range of disciplines to demonstrate how this ethic is consistently conveyed throughout the Bible and can be practically embodied today. Glanville and Glanville apply the kinship ethic to issues such as the current mission of the church, national identity and sovereignty, and possibilities for a cooperative global response to the refugee crisis. Challenging the fear-based ethic that often motivates Christian approaches, they envision a more generous, creative, and hopeful way forward. Refuge Reimagined will equip students, activists, and anyone interested in refugee issues to understand the biblical model for communities and how it can transform our world.
