Since 2005, approximately 70,000 asylum-seeking refugees from Sudan
and Eritrea have entered Israel. This, along with the highly
publicised anti-African immigrant riots in Israel in 2012 and 2014
and the current global refugee crisis, has meant that the issue of
African migration has become increasingly controversial. Here Gilad
Ben-Nun looks at this phenomenon in its historical and contemporary
contexts, and compares it to the wider debates surrounding the
Palestinian refugees in the region and the concept of their right
of return. He argues that this newer, African migration issue has
forced Israel to move from conceiving of itself as an 'exceptional'
state and now has to view itself as a more 'normal' and 'universal'
entity. Ranging as far back as Israel's important role in the the
ratification drafting of the 1951 Refugee Convention and drawing on
a variety of methodologies and sources, Ben-Nun offers a
wide-ranging legal, social and historical examination of asylum in
Israel, that sheds timely light onto themes of migration and
identity across the Middle East. This is essential reading for
legal historians and lawyers, as well as scholars working on
migration studies and the history and politics of the Middle East.
