New formulations of globalisation have radically altered how people
conceptualize the movement of people, ideas and capital throughout
the globe, with questions of securitisation and transnational
sentiment re-shaping long-standing Western concepts of asylum and
human rights. Questioning the manner in which the reception of
sanctuary in modern Australia changes migrants' sense of belonging,
this interdisciplinary volume focuses on the disjuncture between
receiving sanctuary and feeling secure in one's self and community.
With emphasis on the formation and expression of migrant and
refugee cultures, the book deliberately blurs the distinction
between migrants and refugees, in order to engage more directly
with the subjectivities of lived experience and social networks.
Presenting research from the fields of sociology, media studies,
politics, international relations and history, Cultures in Refuge
places explores the manner in which notions of asylum and refuge
affect the processes of articulating and negotiating identities.
