Summary
"This volume addresses forced migration and mobility in the Muslim world. It explores the tensions between Muslim religious conceptions of space and place and new policies of 'migration management' and secure borders. People from Muslim territories make up the majority of the world's forced movers today, but are increasingly barred from traditional routes and pathways to safety. Managing Muslim Mobilities analyzes how states in the region call on Islamic ideas of welcome, sanctuary and protection while establishing policies to prevent movement and citizenship. The volume embraces a 'mobilities' perspective to critique policy assumptions about international borders and to highlight the relationship between people and places. All long-time observers of the region, the volume's contributors draw upon original and empirically grounded research to analyze population mobility for Palestinians, Iraqis, Sudanese, Afghans, Albanians, Turks, and others, and migration management policies in Jordan, Iran, Lebanon, Iraq, Egypt, and the Gulf states, as well as Muslim migration to Germany and the US."--, Provided by publisher"This volume addresses forced migration and mobility in the Muslim world.
