New open access books:
From arrival to settlement: Vulnerabilities of asylum seekers and
refugees in Europe (Neodemos Association, Feb. 2026) [open access]
- "The new open-access ebook produced as part of the AVRAI (Assessing the
Vulnerability of Refugees and Asylum Seekers in Italy) project addresses
[the meaning of vulnerability]. Rather than taking vulnerability for
granted, the book invites readers to rethink it as a dynamic and
relational condition, emerging at the intersection of individual
characteristics, social environments, and institutional responses. In
doing so, it challenges both emergency-driven humanitarian frameworks and
the rigid policy classifications that dominate the European context."
Migration as Anchorage: Ethnography of a Palestinian Family in
London (Berghahn Books, Dec. 2025) [open access]
"On a temporary visit to London, a Palestinian family found themselves
unable to return to Gaza during Israel’s 2008 war on their city.
Understanding their stay in London as an act of ‘anchoring’, the family
opened a Palestinian café and sought to make their lives – as individuals,
as a family and as a community – viable in the face of uncertainty. By
following the stories of various family members as they struggled to
recreate a sense of home, this moving ethnography introduces the concept
of anchorage as a novel lens to understand migration, home and place,
highlighting the fluidity, temporariness and serendipity of these
experiences."
Working the Dutch Asylum Apparatus: An Ethnography of Suspicious
Compassion and State Power (Berghahn Books, March 2026) [open access]
- "Since the 1970s, the recurring discourse of a ‘refugee crisis’ in
Europe has affected border strategies that create a context of suspicion
and criminalise asylum applicants. This book examines how the Netherlands
engages with the arrival of certain (often illegalised) travellers and the
asylum procedure, a tense liminal space and time that ensures decisions of
inclusion and exclusion. Dutch asylum procedure is a peculiar legal
procedure that gathers different people and sensitivities together to make
swift, life-altering decisions for those applying for protection. Based on
an extensive ethnography, this book reveals the ways in which suspicious
compassion in Dutch asylum pervades an objective decision-making
practice."
