Drawing on extensive research spanning diverse regions, including Latin America, Europe, Sub-Saharan Africa, North America, post-Soviet regions, and South and South-East Asia, Displacement takes an interdisciplinary and transnational approach to understanding the structures, spaces, and lived experiences of displacement. The contributors engage in a rich and multifaceted historical, transnational, and interdisciplinary dialogue, offering diverse perspectives on refugees, internally displaced persons, stateless individuals, and other forcibly displaced populations. This collective effort, brought together by sociologists, geographers, anthropologists, political scientists, historians, and migration studies scholars, fosters new cross-regional conversations and develops innovative theoretical frameworks for studying forced displacement. Moreover, the volume integrates forced displacement with other contemporary issues such as urbanization, race, and imperialism, fostering a holistic understanding of these complex phenomena. By exploring the intersections between displacement and these broader societal dynamics, Displacement contributes to a deeper understanding of the human rights, social justice, and resilience of those affected by displacement.
