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.

Radio is a medium of seemingly endless contradictions. Now in its
third century of existence, the technology still seems startlingly
modern; despite frequent predictions of its demise, radio continues
to evolve and flourish in the age of the internet and social media.
This book explores the history of the radio, describing its
technological, political, and social evolution, and how it emerged
from Victorian experimental laboratories to become a
near-ubiquitous presence in our lives. Alasdair Pinkerton's story
is shaped by radio's multiple characters and characteristics--radio
waves occur in nature, for instance, but have also been harnessed
and molded by human beings to bridge oceans and reconfigure our
experience of space and time. Published in association with the
Science Museum, London, Radio is an informative and
thought-provoking book for all enthusiasts of an old technology
that still has the capacity to enthuse, entertain, entice, and
enrage today.
