Refugees Welcome?

Jan-Jonathan Bock is Programme Director of Cumberland Lodge, Windsor, United Kingdom. His publications include Austerity, Community Action and the Future of Citizenship in Europe (2018), co-edited with Shana Cohen and Christina Fuhr.

“The achievement of the book and what makes it different to many other works tackling the ‘refugee crisis’ is its focus on the ambivalence of direction… It thereby moves the discussion away from the reductionist representations of the ‘refugee crisis’ commonly promoted in public discourse, toward acknowledgement of the complexity of the topic. This deconstruction effort also allows for an informed and qualified exploration of current and future avenues for change.” • Anthropology Matters“The volume achieves its coherence through numerous cross-references of the articles, comparison of competing interpretations, as well as the outstanding introduction and conclusion…The volume impresses through its topicality, its throughout intense discussion of current scholarship, its interdisciplinary approach, and the breadth of the targeted readership. It offers an excellent introduction to this topic for the English-language readers.” • German Studies Review
