Description
Refugees in Britain: Practices of Hospitality and Labelling explores the complex and often contradictory nature of the British approach to refugees. Gillian McFadyen examines the ways in which the country's asylum system is shaped by theoretical frameworks of hospitality and labelling, revealing a nuanced and multifaceted approach to managing refugee populations.
Through a combination of empirical research and theoretical analysis, McFadyen sheds light on the ways in which the British government has developed an externalised humanitarian hospitality, projecting its practices beyond national borders to both control and exclude refugees. The book also highlights local practices of hospitality and solidarity that challenge the statist logic of the asylum system.
By examining the British approach to refugees at both national and local levels, McFadyen provides a rich and nuanced understanding of the complexities of refugee politics. This thought-provoking study offers new insights into the power dynamics, language, and responsibility that shape the British refugee regime.
