Karen Culcasi illustrates how these individual conceptualisations about territory don’t always conform to the Western-centric division of the world into states and territories, thus revealing alternative or subordinated forms and scales of territory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCulcasi argues that disproportionate attention to “refugee crises” in the Global North has shifted focus from other parts of the world that carry the responsibility of protecting the majority of the world’s refugees. By examining Jordan, a Global South state that hosts the world’s second-largest number of refugees per capita, this book offers insights for considering alternate approaches to addressing the situation of refugees elsewhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the process, Culcasi draws the reader into the diverse realities of refugees through their own words, inherently arguing against the tendency of many in the Global North to view refugees as aberrant, burdensome, or threatening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47470434582764,"sku":"9780226827063","price":56.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780226827063-displacing-territory.jpg?v=1775219410","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/displacing-territory-by-karen-culcasi-9780226827063","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
