Structures of Protection?: Rethinking Refugee Shelter

ISBN 10 : 1789207126 ISBN 13 : 9781789207125

Editeur : Berghahn Books, 2020

Synopsis

Questioning what shelter is and how we can define it, this volume brings together essays on different forms of refugee shelter, with a view to widening public understanding about the lives of forced migrants and developing theoretical understanding of this oft-neglected facet of the refugee experience. Drawing on a range of disciplines, including sociology, anthropology, law, architecture, and history, each of the chapters describes a particular shelter and uses this to open up theoretical reflections on the relationship between architecture, place, politics, design and displacement.
