This book explores how participatory creative production allows refugees to be recognized in emotional, legal and social ways. 

Recenzje

“A truly original and important insight into refugee voice, the book calls for deeper understanding of its different manifestations and restrictions. Centred in refugees’ own creative practices and reflexive engagement with the media, Refugee Voices opens up a space for students and scholars to interrogate the politics of resettlement and recognition for those seeking safety after their forced migration.” — Myria Georgiou, Professor, Dept of Media and Communications, London School of Economics and Political Science

“Rob Sharp’s Refugee Voices: Performativity and the Struggle for Recognition provides meaningful insights into the convoluted processes that shape the visibility of refugee voices within public institutions. Through a conceptually rich and rigorous analysis, the book opens up new research directions for a better understanding of performative refugeeness in highly regulated settings.” — Sara Marino, Senior Lecturer, London College of Communication, University of the Arts London
