Some people facing violence and persecution flee. Others stay. How do households in
danger decide who should go, where to relocate, and whether to keep moving? What are
the conditions in countries of origin, transit, and reception that shape people's
options? This incisive book tells the story of how one Syrian family, spread across
several countries, tried to survive the civil war and live in dignity. This story
forms a backdrop to explore and explain the refugee system. Departing from studies
that create siloes of knowledge about just one setting or ""solution"" to displacement,
the book's sociological approach describes a global system that shapes refugee movements.
Changes in one part of the system reverberate elsewhere. Feedback mechanisms change
processes across time and place. Earlier migrations shape later movements. Immobility
on one path redirects migration along others. Past policies, laws, population movements,
and regional responses all contribute to shape states' responses in the present. As
Arar and FitzGerald illustrate, all these processes are forged by deep inequalities
of economic, political, military, and ideological power. Presenting a sharp analysis
of refugee structures worldwide, this book offers invaluable insights for students
and scholars of international migration and refugee studies across the social sciences,
as well as policy makers and those involved in refugee and asylum work
