Dr. 听(University of British Columbia) and Dr. Beverly Weber听(GSLL, 麻豆免费版下载Boulder) co-edited a special issue of the scholarly journal English Language Notes听with the title 鈥淩efuge and Displacement.鈥 Explore the Table of Contents .
The special issue focuses on care and solidarity building in the face of forced displacement, and includes an introduction coedited by Malakaj and Weber entitled "Burdened Solidarities: Beyond the Impasse." It responds in part to calls in the recently articulated field of critical refugee studies to shift away from contemporary discussions on forced migration that often rely on notions of refugees exclusively as the suffering other. The contributors to the issue discuss refuge and displacement by centering those who have experienced displacement as producers of knowledge. The focus on care and solidarity allows consideration of not only the critical but also the creative: the possibilities for care, solidarities, and new worlds that are articulated through artistic and activist cultural production.
