This book argues that the international refugee regime and its
'temporary' humanitarian interventions have failed. Most refugees
across the global live in 'protracted' conditions that extend from
years to decades, without legal status that allows them to work and
establish a home. It is contended that they become largely
invisible to people based in the global North, and cease to remain
fully human subjects with access to their political lives. Shifting
the conversation away from the salient discourse of 'solutions' and
technical fixes within state-centric international relations, the
authors recover the subjectivity lost for those stuck in extended
exile. The book first argues that humanitarian assistance to
refugees remains vital to people's survival, even after the
emergency phase is over. It then connects asylum politics in the
global North with the intransigence of extended exile in the global
South. By placing the urgent crises of protracted exile within a
broader constellation of power relations, both historical and
geographical, the authors present research and empirical findings
gleaned from refugees in Iran, Kenya and Canada and from
humanitarian and government workers. Each chapter reveals patterns
of power circulating through the 'colonial present', Cold War
legacies, and the global 'war on terror". Seeking to render legible
the more quotidian struggles and livelihoods of people who find
themselves defined as refugees, this book will be of great interest
to international humanitarian agencies, as well as migration and
refugee researchers, including scholars in refugee studies and
human displacement, human security, globalization, immigration, and
human rights.
