Details

“This book is a timely contribution to the literature on Syrian refugees and on contemporary refugee regime(s).” • Leonardo Schiocchet, Austrian Academy of Sciences

Syria’s massive displacement (from 2012 onwards) is one of the largest, most complex and intractable humanitarian emergencies of today. More than 5.7 million Syrian refugees live mainly in cities and urban areas throughout the Middle East. Urban Displacement examines multiple dimensions of this crisis from political and socioeconomic predicaments to questions of social belonging, the complexity of the international, regional and national responses and how they affect urban spaces. The volume brings together experts in the field of forced migration studies and displacement in the Middle East and presents a range of in-depth ethnographic data, cross-sectional surveys and policy analyses.

Are John Knudsen is Research Professor at the Chr. Michelsen Institute (CMI) and an International Fellow at Institute Convergences Migrations (ICM), Paris.

Sarah A. Tobin is Research Professor at the Chr. Michelsen Institute (CMI) and author of Everyday Piety: Islam and Economy in Jordan (Cornell UP, 2016).
