Description
This Handbook presents a transnational and interdisciplinary study of refugee narratives broadly defined. Interrogating who can be considered a refugee and what constitutes a narrative the thirty-eight chapters included in this collection encompass a range of forcibly displaced subjects a mix of geographical and historical contexts and a variety of storytelling modalities. Analyzing novels poetry memoirs comics films photography music social media data graffiti letters reports eco-design video games archival remnants and ethnography the individual chapters counter dominant representations of refugees as voiceless victims. Addressing key characteristics and thematics of refugee narratives this Handbook examines how refugee cultural productions are shaped by and in turn shape socio-political landscapes. It will be of interest to researchers teachers students and practitioners committed to engaging refugee narratives in the contemporary moment.
