"Refuge in a Moving World draws together more than thirty contributions written from multiple disciplines and fields of research and practice to discuss different ways of engaging with, and responding to, migration and displacement. The volume combines critical reflections on the complexities of conceptualizing processes and experiences of (forced) migration, with detailed analyses of these experiences in contemporary and historical settings around the world. Through interdisciplinary approaches and methodologies – including participatory research, poetic and spatial interventions, ethnography, theatre, discourse analysis and visual methods – the volume documents the complexities of refugees’ and migrants’ journeys. This includes a particular focus on how people inhabit and negotiate everyday life in cities, towns, camps and informal settlements across the Middle East and North Africa, Southern and Eastern Africa, and Europe. A key dynamic documented throughout the book is the multiple ways that responses to displacement are enacted by people with personal or family experiences of (forced) migration. These people appear in many roles: as researchers, writers and artists, teachers, solidarians, first responders, NGO practitioners, neighbours and/or friends. Through the application of historically and spatially sensitive, intersectional and interdisciplinary lenses, the contributors explore the ways that different people – across axes of religion, race, sexuality, gender and age – experience and respond to their own situations and to those of other people, in the context of diverse power structures and structural inequalities on the local, national and international level. Ultimately, Refuge in a Moving World argues that working collaboratively through interdisciplinary approaches and methodologies has the potential to develop nuanced understandings of processes of migration and displacement, and, in turn, to encourage more sustainable modes of responding to our moving world."

Das Buch bietet eine theoretische und praktische Einführung in einen besonderen Teil der Sozialen und der pädagogischen Arbeit mit Geflüchteten. Es werden unterschiedliche Konzeptionen, Formate und Praxen der Erstorientierung thematisiert. Ausgehend von den Ergebnissen des wissenschaftlich begleiteten Erstorientierungsprojekts HO:PE des Flüchtlingszentrums Hamburg werden Best-Practice-Ansätze für die sozialraumorientierte Soziale Arbeit und die Bildungsarbeit vorgestellt, die bei der zielorientierten und systematischen Erstorientierung Geflüchteter helfen. Die Bandbreite an Vorgehensweisen aus der Praxis deckt ein Kursangebot für Geflüchtete ebenso ab wie andere Formate, z.B. Informationsvorträge oder Fortbildungen für ehrenamtlich Engagierte. Die Leserinnen und Leser erhalten darüber hinaus theoretisch fundiertes Hintergrundwissen zu Erstorientierung und Empowerment von Geflüchteten sowie zu didaktischen und methodischen Grundlagen für die Bildungsarbeit. Ein besonderes Augenmerk wird zudem auf das Empowermentpotenzial der Erstorientierung, auf die Sozialraumaktivierung und die sozialraum- orientierte Soziale Arbeit im Rahmen von Erstorientierung gerichtet.; The book offers a theoretical and practical introduction to a particular part of the social and educational work with refugees. Different concepts, formats, and practices of first orientation are discussed. Based on the results of the scientifically accompanied initial orientation project HO:PE of the Refugee Centre Hamburg, best-practice approaches for social-space-oriented social work and educational work will be presented that help police with their goal-oriented and systematic initial orientation. The range of practical procedures covers a course offer for refugees as well as other formats, e.g. information lectures or training courses for volunteers. In addition, the readers receive theoretically sound background knowledge on the initial orientation and empowerment of refugees as well as on didactic and methodological basics for educational work. Special attention is also paid to the empowerment potential of initial orientation, to social space activation, and social space-oriented social work within the framework of initial orientation.

Right to stay in the gastro-kitchen Migration policy regulations and working conditions of refugees with precarious residence permit status Asylum policy is labour market policy. Yet, the demarcation lines in migration policy between "refugees" and "labour migrants" fail to take this fact into account. It is therefore hardly surprising that this connection remains obscure both in the context of migration policy as well as in the research landscape. In contrast, this book focuses on the interactions between migration policy regulations and the working conditions of refugees with precarious residence permit status. For a start, that means opening the analytical view in the field of asylum policy negotiations to the dynamics of everyday struggles for rights and social participation in the case of Swiss gastronomic companies. Jacqueline Kalbermatter examines how social differentiations become apparent in the kitchen and in the labour process, and asks about their specific relation to the residence permit status and geographical origin of the workers. In the end, the conception of gastronomic companies as a place of ongoing negotiation processes of entrepreneurs and workers allows for a new perspective to be adopted. It reveals the entanglements and ambivalences between asylum policy and the regulation of labour force problems, which otherwise remain hidden.

Such threats as environmental change, food insecurity, and generalized violence force massive numbers of people to flee states that are unable or unwilling to ensure their basic rights, as do conditions in failed and fragile states that make possible human rights deprivations. Because these reasons do not meet the legal understanding of persecution, the victims of these circumstances are not usually recognized as "refugees," preventing current institutions from ensuring their protection. In this book, Alexander Betts develops the concept of "survival migration" to highlight the crisis in which these people find themselves.

This volume of essays represents the first systematic attempt to explore the use of the past in the making of citizenship and immigration policy in Australia and New Zealand. Focussing on immigration and citizenship policy in Australia and New Zealand, the contributions to this volume explore how history and memory are implicated in policy making and political debate, and what processes of remembering and forgetting are utilised by political leaders when formulating and defending policy decisions. They remind us that a nuanced understanding of the past is fundamental to managing the politics and practicalities of immigration and citizenship in the early 21st century.
