Issues of asylum, migration, humanitarian protection and integration/belonging are of growing interest beyond the disciplines of refugee studies, migration, and social policy. Rooted in more than two decades of scholarship, this book uses critical social theory and the participatory, biographical and arts-based methods used with asylum seekers, refugees and emerging communities to explore the dynamics of the asylum-migration-community nexus. It argues that interdisciplinary analysis is required to deal with the complexity of the issues involved and offers understanding as praxis (purposeful knowledge), drawing on innovative research that is participatory, arts-based, performative and policy-relevant.
"This thoughtful and broad-ranging book will appeal to students, researchers and academics at all levels as well as those working on the ground with asylumseekers and refugees." --Crime Media Culture journal

"Maggie O'Neill's book is an essential and superb contribution to refugee and migration studies. It is indispensable reading for those who wish to create global and local communities without humiliation." Evelin G. Lindner, MD, PhDs, Founding President of Human Dignity and Humiliation Studies
"Like the asylum seekers and migrants she studies, Maggie O'Neill brings a rich cargo of ideas and images to the terrain she enters, from psychoanalysis and Marxism, to creative and innovative participatory methods. Her book should engage scholars across a wide range of disciplines." Janice Haaken, Professor of Psychology, Portland State University
