Biography
Dr. Anna Lindley is Lecturer at the Department of Development Studies, School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London, UK.
"Welding together the discussion of crisis and migration turns out to be an inspired intervention, taking us fittingly far from the prosaic categories of policy analysis." –Robin Cohen, University of Oxford, UK
"This book deftly probes the links between migration and crisis, destabilizing the normative assumptions that migration is crisis. The authors conceptualise crisis and migration not as isolated events but rather as co-constituted processes understood in relation to colonialism, nation-state formation, industrialisation, and urbanization. And crisis migration, they argue, precipitates crisis management. A compelling read." –Jennifer Hyndman, Centre for Refugee Studies, York University, Canada
