Refugees, conflict and the search for belonging
Hovil, Lucy.

Refugees, conflict and the search for belonging[electronic resource] /by Lucy Hovil. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2016. - ix, 206 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

Introduction -- 1. Conflict and displacement, citizenship and belonging: a framework for discussion -- 2. Living through exile: (not) belonging to a state -- 3. Living through exile: belonging to a state -- 4. Local and national belonging in exile: convergence or divergence? -- 5. Marginalised in Sudan, exiled from Sudan: Citizenship on the margins -- 6. Refugee policy structures: promoting or undermining belonging? -- Conclusion.

This book is about the convergence of two problems: the ongoing realities of conflict and forced migration in Eastern and Central Africa, and the crisis of citizenship and belonging. By bringing them together, the intention is to see how, combined, they can help point the way towards possible solutions. Based on 1,115 interviews conducted over 6 years in the region, the book points to ways in which refugees challenge the parameters of citizenship and belonging as they carve out spaces for inclusion in the localities in which they live. Yet with a policy environment that often leads to marginalisation, the book highlights the need for policies that pull people into the centre rather than polarise and exclude; and that draw on, rather than negate, the creativity that refugees demonstrate in their quest to forge spaces of belonging. Dr. Lucy Hovil has sixteen years of experience conducting research amongst displaced and conflict-affected groups in East and Central Africa, first with the Refugee Law Project of Makerere University, Uganda, and then with the International Refugee Rights Initiative. She received her PhD from the School of Oriental and African Studies, UK, in 2000, and is the Managing Editor of the International Journal of Transitional Justice.
