| Abstract | New formulations of globalisation have radically altered how people conceptualise the movement of people, ideas and capital throughout the globe, with questions of securitisation and transnational sentiment re-shaping long-standing Western concepts of asylum and human rights. Questioning the manner in which the reception of sanctuary in modern Australia changes migrants' sense of belonging, this interdisciplinary volume focuses on the disjuncture between receiving sanctuary and feeling secure in one's self and community. With emphasis on the formation and expression of migrant and refugee cultures, the book deliberately blurs the distinction between migrants and refugees, in order to engage more directly with the subjectivities of lived experience. Presenting research from the fields of sociology, media studies, politics, international relations and history, Cultures in Refuge explores the manner in which the notions of asylum and refuge affect the processes of articulating and negotiating identities. |
