There are few issues more urgently in need of intelligent analysis
both in the UK and elsewhere than those relating to displacement,
asylum, and migration. In this volume, based on the 2004 Oxford
Amnesty Lectures, major figures in philosophy, political science,
law, psychoanalysis, sociology, and literature address the
challenges that displacement, asylum, and migration pose to our
notions of human rights. Each lecture is accompanied by a critical
response from another leading thinker in the field. The volume
contains lectures by Slavoj Zizek, Bhikhu Parekh, Ali A.Mazrui,
Matthew J. Gibney, Saskia Sassen, Harold Hongju Koh, Caryl
Phillips, and Jacqueline Rose, with critical responses from Michael
Ignatieff, Seyla Benhabib, Iftikhar Malik, Melissa Lane, Christian
Joppke, Rey Koslowski, Elleke Boehmer, and Ali Abunimah. This is
the twelfth volume of Oxford Amnesty Lectures to be published since
1992. 'All good citizens should probably want to buy them . . .
simply because they are published in support of such a good cause.
It turns out, though, that no self-sacrifice is involved. [These]
are immensely rich, challenging, stimulating volumes . . . The
contributors' lists are star-studded . . . and each book has a
clear, coherent, overarching theme, despite the extreme diversity
of the individual lectures' (The Independent, April 10, 2003).
