Resisting the Dehumanization of Refugees - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Approaches to helping refugees maintain their sense of humanity during the often dehumanizing experience of seeking asylum.

Refugees face distinct challenges and are often subject to dehumanization by politicians, media, and the public. In this context, Resisting the Dehumanization of Refugees provides urgent insights and policy-relevant perspectives to improve refugees’ social well-being and integration. Taking a transdisciplinary approach, scholars from the social sciences, arts, and humanities, alongside practitioners and refugees, explore what it means to experience dehumanization. They consider how refugees’ experiences of dehumanization inform both epistemological and practical approaches to humanizing (or re-humanizing) refugees before, during, and after resettlement. By addressing these important issues, contributors marshal rich and multidimensional responses that draw upon our shared humanity and reveal new possibilities for change.
