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.\u003cbr\u003e--S.

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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e​\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eMike Classon Frangos\u003c\/b\u003e is Senior Lecturer in English Literature at Linnaeus University, Sweden.
