Self-organization plays an essential yet often overlooked role in the everyday lives of refugees in exile. By self-organizing, they challenge restrictions, claim political representation, foster social relations and belonging, and create ongoing economic opportunities. While government authorities and aid organizations are supposed to provide protection and assistance, refugees often continue to face adversities, restrictions, and risks, prompting them to establish and maintain their own support systems. Refugee-Led Organizations in Uganda offers nuanced insight into the problems arising from the aid system and especially the significance of the spectrum of informal and formalized self-organizations. Ulrike Krause, Gato Ndabaramiye Joshua, and Hannah Schmidt draw on a gender-sensitive understanding of relational agency and situated knowledge and use empirical research in Uganda's camp Kyaka II and the capital, Kampala, to reveal how individuals collectively contribute to their own support in times of emergency and in everyday life. Interwoven with reflections written by refugees in Uganda - Bengekya Mugay G�d�on, Noella Kabale, Paul, Janvier Hafasha, and Isreal Katembo, as well as the director of an LGBTQ+ refugee-led organization - the book centres on individuals' lived experiences of self-organization in exile.

Ulrike Krause is professor of political science and director of the Center for International Gender Studies at the Institute for Political Science, University of Münster. Gato Ndabaramiye Joshua is a counselling psychologist in Uganda and affiliated research associate with the Center for International Gender Studies at the University of Münster. Hannah Schmidt is a researcher in the Migration Policy Research Group at the Institute of Social Sciences, University of Hildesheim.
