About this book

Refugees and displacement are defining issues of the 21st century, with over 70 million asylum seekers, refugees, and stateless individuals forced from their homes as of 2020. Every two seconds, one person is forcibly displaced due to climate change, global epidemics, and ongoing conflicts. The SAGE Encyclopedia of Refugee Studies, edited by members of The Critical Refugee Studies Collective, serves as a vital and comprehensive resource for understanding the historical, political, and cultural dimensions of displacement. Featuring over 250 authoritative articles, this landmark reference work is organized into three key themes: law, politics, and policy; humanitarianism and humanitarian organizations; and media, culture, and storytelling. Drawing from disciplines such as migration studies, Indigenous studies, critical race studies, environmental studies, sociology, political science, law, anthropology, and the arts, this encyclopedia critically examines refugee issues in relation to imperialism, racism, patriarchy, and militarism. Beyond academic analysis, The SAGE Encyclopedia of Refugee Studies centers refugee voices through narratives, first-person accounts, and visual storytelling, highlighting the lived experiences, communities, and creative expressions of displaced individuals. This essential resource is invaluable for scholars, educators, policymakers, community-based organizations, and refugees themselves.
