This comparative ethnography of a Muslim and a Christian
Palestinian refugee camp in Lebanon focuses on contrasting social
belonging processes through a ritualization approach. Leonardo
Schiocchet argues that contrasts emerge out of the
intersectionality of religiosity, nationhood, refugeeness and
politics, and synthesizes academic research on piety and moral
self-cultivation and on the everyday life of religious communities.
He contributes to the literature on refugees at large, and
Palestinian refugees in particular, with the unique dense
socio-historical portrait of two refugee camps for which there is
almost no recorded literature.
Multiple refugee regimes govern the lives of forced migrants
simultaneously but in an often conflicting way. As a mechanism of
inclusion/exclusion, they tend to engender the violence they sought
to dissipate. Protection and control channel agency through
mechanisms of either tutelage and victimisation or criminalisation.
This book contrasts multiple groups of refugees and refugee
regimes, revealing the inherent coercive violence of refugee
regimes, from displacement and expulsion, to stereotypification and
exclusion in host countries, and academic knowledge
essentialisation. This violence is international, national,
society-based, internalised, and embodied - and it urgently needs
due scholarly attention.
