This novel method of looking at the British refugee regime allows for deeper insights into the notions of power, identification, responsibility, language and externalisation of refugee politics.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book argues that the British refugee regime has developed towards an externalised humanitarian hospitality whereby the practice is geographically projected beyond the territorial confines of the state in order to both control and exclude the refugee. In tandem, the book also engages with counter-discourses by examining local practices of British hospitality and showing acts of solidarity that challenge the statist logic. The result is a theoretically informed account of the British approach to externalisation and geographical seclusion of\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003erefugees, particularly in response to the current Mediterranean Crisis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gillian McFadyen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1474447171\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474447171\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/30\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.51lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.41d","brand":"Gillian McFadyen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44065832861951,"sku":"9781474447171","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5bf5d6a5-8e03-4ecf-b5a7-6954c6b94a92.jpg?v=1685403766","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/refugees-in-britain-gillian-mcfadyen-9781474447171","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
