Re-defining refugees: nations, borders and globalization

Summary/Abstract: The simplest definition of a refugee might be ‘someone who has left theirhome’. This article questions the centrality of ‘home’ to refugees, re-considering the debate between Liisa Malkki and Gaim Kibreab on this theme, and reviewing some historical commentaries on images and definitions of refugees. It suggests an interplay between state policy and the manner in which refugees frame and present their own experiences and identities.
