This book is both timely and essential. It demonstrates with masterly analytical skill the difficult conditions of existence into which refugees are forced within a world shaped by human rights claims, technological control, and denied freedoms. Bayan AlAmmouri offers a brilliant exposition of the role modern technology plays in curtailing and erasing rights, while illuminating the condition of refugees through anglophone literary texts, biographical memory, and cultural materials. This is a sophisticated and astute study that fills an important gap in the literature at a time when the world remains saturated with imperial and colonial violence, with overwhelming consequences—particularly for refugees.
