This Handbook provides the knowledge and tools needed to understand
how displacement is lived, governed, and mediated as an unfolding
and grounded process bound up in spatial inequities of power and
injustice. The handbook ensures, first, that internal displacements
and their everyday (re)occurrences are not overlooked; second, it
questions 'who counts' by including 'displaced' people who are less
obviously identifiable and a clearly circumscribed or categorised
group; third, it stresses that while displacement suggests
mobility, there are also periods and spaces of enforced stillness
that are not adequately reflected in the displacement literature;
and fourth, it re-evokes and explores the 'place' in displacement
by critically interrogating peoples' 'right to place' and the
significance of placemaking, unmaking, and remaking in the
contemporary world. The 50-plus chapters are organised across seven
themes designed to further develope interdisciplinary study of the
technologies, journeys, traces, governance, more-than-human,
representation, and resisting of displacement. Each of these
thematic sections begin with an intervention which spotlights
actions to creatively and strategically intervene in displacement.
The interventions explore myriad meanings and manifestations of
displacement and its contestation from the perspective of displaced
people, artists, writers, activists, scholar-activists, and
scholars involved in practice-oriented research. The Handbook will
be an essential companion for academics, students, and
practitioners committed to forging solidarity, care, and home in an
era of displacement.
