How did and does the fate of refugees unfold in internment camps? The contributors to this book
facilitate an extensive engagement with the organized state led and forced placement of
refugees in the past and present. They show the parallels and differences between the practices
and types of internment in different countries - while considering the specific historical
contexts. Moreover they highlight the nexus of relationships and agencies which constitute the
camps in question as transitory spaces. The contributions consist of analyses of local
phenomena or case studies as well as comparative engagements from an international and or
historical perspective.
