Description

Refuge and Resistance: Palestinians and the International Refugee System is a groundbreaking international history of Palestinian refugee politics. Anne Irfan explores how Palestinian refugees invoked internationalist norms to demand their political rights while resisting the UN's categorization of their plight as an apolitical humanitarian issue.

This book recasts modern Palestinian history through the lens of refugee camps and communities, highlighting the important role that refugee groups play in global politics. By examining the interactions between Palestinian refugees and the Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), Irfan sheds new light on the complexities of international recognition and the ways in which nonelite activism can shape political campaigns.

Through its nuanced analysis, Refuge and Resistance offers a vital new perspective on politics beyond the nation-state, challenging readers to consider the agency and influence of refugee groups in global affairs.
