New Issue of Refuge

A new issue of Refuge: Canada's Journal on Refugees has been published. As explained in the introduction, the aim of this special issue is as follows:

"The articles in this special issue examine and explore the voices and aesthetic expressions of the displaced and dispossessed as a means of understanding the effects of displacement in terms other than those of the nation-state. They set out to recognize and investigate the frequently silenced voices of forced migrants who exhibit adaptability, resilience, longing, and resistance in the grey zones and borderlands between states and state bureaucracies."

Articles in vol. 32, no. 1 (2016) include:

• Introduction: Refugee Voices: Exploring the Border Zones between States and State Bureaucracies
• Displacements of Memory
• Human Rights and Refugee Protest against Immigration Detention: Refugees’ Struggles for Recognition as Human
