The author draws upon post-structural analytical tools to develop a critique of humanitarianism and to sketch a bio-political framework for understanding the relationship between the humanity of refugees and their capacity, or lack thereof, for political voice and action." Rethinking Refugees "is a radically fresh approach to understanding refugees, their movements, and their place within an increasingly globalized international politics. |
