From the Back Cover

Refugees Genres is a timely, interdisciplinary and far-reaching exploration of a figure at once over-scripted and barely-legible: the contemporary refugee. An international assembly of scholars and critics conduct deep probes into the ways this figure - hyper-visible, politically weaponised, often patronised - emerges in comics and graphic novels, experimental films, modern performance and music, memoirs and literary fiction before, in termite fashion, perverting and restructuring those artistic forms to startling effect.
--S. S. Sandhu, Director of the Center for Experimental Humanities and Associate Professor of English and Social and Cultural Analysis, NYU

Rich and varied, the essays in Refugee Genres pull together refugee narratives from literature, film and the graphic arts, to make a series of bold interventions into this evolving field.
--Agnes Woolley, Lecturer in Transnational Literature and Migration Cultures, Birkbeck, University of London

This volume brings together research on the forms, genres, media and histories of refugee migration. Chapters come from a range of disciplines and interdisciplinary approaches, including literature, film studies, performance studies and postcolonial studies. The goal is to bring together chapters that use the perspectives of the arts and humanities to study representations of refugee migration. The chapters of the anthology are organized around specific forms and genres: life-writing and memoir, the graphic novel, theater and music, film and documentary, coming-of-age stories, street literature, and the literary novel.
