• Resumen

  • The first chapter serves as the book's introduction and succinctly establishes Bromley's methodology, explaining how he frames his work through, for instance, theories of decoloniality, Boaventura de Sousa Santos' post-abyssal thinking (which is "a struggle for global social justice" for those who have been made abject by colonial powers [7]), and Walter Mignolo's notion of border thinking. While race and gender are discussed earlier in the book, the final two chapters emphasize how these identity categories further shape refugee experiences. Narratives of Forced Mobility and Displacement thus deftly uses literary analysis to engage with contemporary conversations that span the fields of refugee studies, anthropology, migration/immigration law, geography, and critical race theory.
