Departures

"Departures works best as a critical manifesto ‘by and for refugees.’ Bold and provocative, it will not fail to spark conversations in the coming years."

— Review of International American Studies

"Departures illuminates us in a brave and stimulating way on many layers and levels. The authors of this influential book succeed in eloquently articulating how to dishonour and dismantle not only dated methodologies to understand refugee issues but also the treatment of refugees."

— Ethnic and Racial Studies

"This compact book performs two significant functions for the field of critical refugee studies: it provides a name for a growing body of critical analyses of the forced displacement of people by conflicts, their experiences of forced migration, and the history and discourse of the humanitarian sector, and it claims a refugee-centered and critical feminist place in the scholarly literature. . . . Recommended."

— CHOICE

"Departures represents both an excellent introduction to Critical Refugee studies and something like a refugee manifesto. It is an unabashed polemic against the dehumanization of refugees and a forceful demonstration of the unlimited value and contributions of refugees themselves in terms of—but not limited to—knowledge and cultural production, world views, narratives, and more."
