Young Refugees and Forced Displacement is about young Syrian and
Iraqi refugees navigating the complex realities of forced
displacement in Beirut. It is based on a British Academy funded
two-year project with 51 displaced youths aged 8 to 17 and under
the care of three local humanitarian organisations. Focus groups,
interviews and innovative arts-based methods were used to learn
about their everyday lives. At the end of the project, we
coproduced with them a public mural, allowing unexpected
epistemological and methodological reflections on researching
refugees and the "right to opacity." Families and friendships,
humanitarian caregiving, racism, discrimination and everyday
decencies and civilities make up the stuff of their ordinary,
everyday encounters within refugeedom, defining both its sharper
edges and its more inadvertent and quietly political ones. Thus,
refugeedom, as we conceive it, includes "the humanitarian
condition" but goes a little beyond it, to become also a human
condition of political alterity. In navigating refugeedom, the
young Syrians and Iraqis become sophisticated political and moral
actors, using emotional reflexivity as they engage layered
subjectivities to define the terms of their own forced
displacement. This book will be of interest to policymakers,
humanitarian organisations, social science scholars and students
working on refugees, displacement, humanitarianism, intimacies and
emotions, racism and discrimination. It may also be of interest to
displaced youth.

Two competing narratives of the Holocaust in Lithuania exist in the
nation's collective memory. Lithuanians largely follow a narrative
that presents themselves as the victim of World War II,
particularly during the Stalinist occupation. This view is in
strong contrast to the Jewish memory because about 95% of
Lithuania's Jewry was wiped out during the Nazi occupation.
Although it was the Germans who organized and implemented the
Holocaust, the mass killings of some 200,000 Jews could not have
taken place that quickly and thoroughly from 1941 to 1944 without
the local collaboration in Lithuania. Instead of a self-critical
discourse about the past, Lithuanians still prefer to downplay the
role of their compatriots. The main challenge is that the Jewish
genocide is not recognized as part of Lithuania's history. Although
Jews were Lithuanian citizens, it seems that they were aliens and
not natives to the country. A collective memory of the Holocaust in
Lithuania which critically reflects the past will remain a
forgotten discourse to Lithuanians, most likely also in the near
future.
