The Refugee System

2023 Felicia Krishna Hensel Book Award ‘Honorable Mention’ from the Interdisciplinary Studies Section of the International Studies Association (ISA) “Arar and FitzGerald offer a truly comprehensive overview of what makes people able and willing to flee violence […]. The Refugee System will be useful to undergraduate and graduate students of migration, particularly because of its accessible language and composition […]. Besides students, the book will also benefit more seasoned migration scholars looking for a theoretical synthesis of recent debates in their field.”Ethnic and Racial Studies“In contrast to studies that often focus on how state policies impact migrants’ decisions, the authors demonstrate how migrants shape policies.”International Migration Review“This book [demonstrates] the value of using a systems approach to understand the refugee system. While it is challenging to empirically measure and capture all interactions between refugee drivers, actors, states, policies, and institutions involved, the book has shown that demographic analysis can benefit from using a holistic approach in the production of knowledge about refugees.”Raya Muttarak, Population and Development Review “A work of brilliance, Arar and FitzGerald’s The Refugee System illuminates the phenomenon in a way that no one has done before, providing an indispensable framework for understanding the causes and consequences of forced migration as well as the ways in which states and institutions have responded when faced with people fleeing violence and persecution.”Roger Waldinger, University of California, Los Angeles “A rich analysis of the ways in which migrants and refugees interact with entangled legal and political regimes. Arar and FitzGerald never lose sight of the people most affected by the phenomena under discussion: refugees themselves, and their communities. ”Laura Madokoro, Carleton University“During the past decade, the refugee issue dominated the world's media headlines and has risen to the very top of the global policy agenda. This groundbreaking book provides a uniquely comprehensive, systematic and humane analysis of this important topic.”Jeff Crisp, Refugee Studies Centre, University of Oxford“Sociologists Arar and FitzGerald demonstrate the imperative of adopting a systems approach and expanding the general understanding of refugees beyond the restrictive legal definition to understand the politics and experiences of displacement that have shaped the world in the last three decades.”CHOICE“In their ambitious new book, The Refugee System, Rawan Arar and David FitzGerald set out to build a comprehensive framework through which to analyze the world’s major refugee systems. […] They propose a flexible, integrated framework of analysis that accounts for individuals, historic forces, and institutions.”Social Forces

Refuge beyond Reach

Why do people seeking asylum often break immigration laws? Refuge Beyond Reach shows how rich democracies deliberately and systematically shut down most legal paths to safety. An architecture of repulsion in the air, at sea, and on land keeps most refugees far away from places where they can ask for sanctuary.

Immigrant California

"Throughout U.S. history, California has offered some of the most welcoming–and most xenophobic–responses to newcomers. This volume closely looks at the immigration lessons from this state, home to one of the largest immigrant populations in the world."—Kevin Johnson, Dean, University of California, Davis School of Law "How should public policies respond to immigration? This impressive, data-driven collection of research answers this pressing question with systematic analysis over time and across groups. The experts featured in this volume provide evidence-based insights and recommendations that will help lead California and the nation to a more inclusive, healthy, and prosperous shared future."—Janelle Wong, Professor of Government and Politics & American Studies, University of Maryland, College Park
