issues Elusive Refuge: Chinese Migrants in the Cold War Book by Laura
Madokoro, McGill University This timely book brings attention to a lesser-known
chapter of 20th century history that sadly resonates with our current moment in
ways that should make us most uncomfortable. Geopolitics, borders, settler
colonialism and its effects, the making of humans as illegal, the role of civil
society... we have been here before. More information about the book is
available here: https://tinyurl.com/Madokoro Refuge: Transforming a Broken ;
Refugee SystemBook by Alexander Betts and Paul Collier In the context of the
most significant refugee crisis since the Second World War, there is a need for
new thinking regarding what a global response might include. The authors of
this book start with the recognition that refugees are able to contribute to
their adopted countries when given access to employment and education. In this
book, they propose an alternative vision that can help refugees help themselves
and at the same time make a contribution to their host societies and rebuild
their countries of origin. More information about the book is available

Recent Publications and New Research UNHCR’s Origins and Early History: Agency,
Influence, and Power in Global Refugee PolicyBy Gil Loescher, Visiting
Professor at the Refugee Studies Centre (University of Oxford) This article,
published by Refuge, assesses the role and functions of UNHCR during its
formative years. The author traces how UNHCR’s first four high commissioners
employed expertise on refugee law and protection to convince states of the
Office’s usefulness to international stability. The author concludes that the
Office should use the lessons of this early period to explore ways to exercise
similar attributes today. Article available here:

Politically Changing EnvironmentBy Maysa Ayoub and Shaden Khallaf, of the
Center for Migration and Refugee Studies (The American University in Cairo) By
2014, some 300,000 Syrian refugees had already sought refuge in Egypt, a
country that is itself undoing political change. This research considers the
challenges they face, particularly in relation to their economic activities.
The researchers found that the refugees’ living conditions have shifted in
relation to political changes in the country of refuge, leading to greater
hardship. The study also found that policymaking in Egypt with regards to the
refugee population is marked by a lack of clarity, especially in the area of
visas. Article available here:http://schools.aucegypt.edu/ ;

asylum seekers in detentionBy Chaka L. Bachmann. Interviews conducted by Sarah
Singer of the Refugee Law Initiative (University of London) This publication
reports on research into the situation of lesbian, gay, bi and trans (LGBT)
asylum seekers in detention facilities in the United Kingdom. A joint project
between the organization Stonewall and the United Kingdom Lesbian and Gay
Immigration Group (UKLGIG), the research included interviews in detention
centres throughout the country. The research found that LGBT asylum seekers
face discrimination and harassment in detention centres, that trans asylum
seekers face particular threats of violence, that detention staff fail to
protect LGBT asylum seekers from abuse, and that LGBT asylum seekers cannot
fairly pursue their legal claim while in detention. Report available here:

Older as a Refugee: A Study of Bosnian Refugees in the UK and their Experiences
of the Ageing ProcessWorking paper by Luciana Caffarelli, Sussex Centre for
Migration Research (University of Sussex) This paper explores and evaluates the
interaction between ageing and forced migration. The researcher found that
while some experienced by forced migrants are similar to those faced by labour
migrants, most of the forced migrants interviewed felt they are unable to
return home because of conditions there. The researcher recommends that that
additional research is needed regarding ageing and migration in order to better
support policy-makers working with this group. Working paper available here:

visual and narrative methodologies in South AfricaBy Elsa Oliveira, African
Centre for Migration & Society (ACMS) Since 2006 the ACMS has explored the use
