Refugees on the Move

Erol Balkan teaches economic development, international finance and political economy of the Middle East at Hamilton College, New York. His recent books include Reproducing Class: Education, Neoliberalism, and the Rise of the New Middle Class in Istanbul (Berghahn, 2009) and The Neoliberal Landscape and the Rise of Islamic Capital in Turkey (Berghahn, 2015).

“Chapters in this collection discuss both the issues that host countries face, such as welfare nationalism and legal status, and challenges that refugees themselves face, such as wage theft and integration. The book also contains a very useful discussion of refugees from a Marxist perspective and an analysis of the history of refugees in Europe…The book has several chapters that will be especially useful to scholars in the field.” • Choice“This is a well-crafted mix of broad considerations of the production of the refugee, as well as contextualized and detailed considerations of refugees in two especially important regions.” • Chaise LaDousa, Hamilton College, New York“The book is an important contribution to an understanding of the current refugee crisis and its implications on the host countries.” • Ahmet Oncu, Sabanci University, Turkey
