New open access books:

Refugees and Knowledge Production: Europe's Past and Present (Routledge, Feb. 2022) [open access]
- "Building on research within the fields of exile studies and critical migration studies and drawing links between historical and contemporary ‘refugee scholarship’, this volume challenges the bias of methodological nationalism and Eurocentrism in discussing the multifaceted forms of knowledge emerging in the context of migration and mobility. With critical attention to the meaning, production and scope of ‘refugee scholarship’ generated at the institutions of higher education, it also focuses on ‘refugee knowledge’ produced outside academia, and scrutinizes the conditions according to which it is validated or silenced."

Refugees on the Move: Crisis and Response in Turkey and Europe 
(Berghahn Books, Feb. 2022) [open access]
- This volume " highlights and explores the profound complexities of the current refugee issue by focusing specifically on Syrian refugees in Turkey and other European countries and responses from the host countries involved. It examines the causes of the movement of refugee populations, the difficulties they face during their journeys, the daily challenges and obstacles they experience, and host governments’ attempts to manage and overcome the so-called 'refugee crisis'." Note: It appears that access to the complete text will become available on 15 Feb. 2022.
