Translocal Lives in Times of Conflict, Gebunden

Klappentext

This open access book builds a bridge between migration and refugee studies and peace and conflict studies by examining the trans-local lives of people affected by violent conflict. Combining conceptual debates with rich insights from empirical research from across the world, 18 chapters address the question of how war and conflict shape, disrupt and transform (im)mobility trajectories and patterns of translocal living---within and across borders. The volume is complemented by an introduction that presents conceptual advances in this emerging interdisciplinary research field, two chapters summarising methodological innovations and challenges in conducting empirical studies, and a conclusion reflecting on the findings and policy implications of applying a translocal research perspective. This book will be an excellent resource for students and scholars seeking to move beyond a conventional, linear understanding of displacement, embracing instead a translocal perspective that captures the multi-sited patterns and repercussions of violence and war.
