An empirical examination of contemporary refugee practices in
Britain Innovative theoretical framework, weaving for the first
time together the theories of hospitality and labeling and applying
them to the refugee regime Expansion of the theoretical framework
of hospitality, with development towards an understanding of
externalized humanitarian hospitality Research underpinned by rich
empirical material- 34 interviews and 30+years of archival research
on government framing of the refugee Offers three, empirically
grounded, case studies on the British asylum system from the
national, regional and grass-roots level. This book provides a
multi-faceted way of assessing the British approach to refuge on
local, state and regional levels, by intertwining the theories of
hospitality and labelling before applying them to the study of
refugees. This novel method of looking at the British refugee
regime allows for deeper insights into the notions of power,
identification, responsibility, language and externalisation of
refugee politics. The book argues that the British refugee regime
has developed towards an externalised humanitarian hospitality
whereby the practice is geographically projected beyond the
territorial confines of the state in order to both control and
exclude the refugee. In tandem, the book also engages with
counter-discourses by examining local practices of British
hospitality and showing acts of solidarity that challenge the
statist logic. The result is a theoretically informed account of
the British approach to externalisation and geographical seclusion
of refugees, particularly in response to the current Mediterranean
Crisis.
