Critical Research and Creative Practice with Migrant and Refugee Communities - by Brian Callan & Pearson Nkhoma & Naomi Thompson (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

EPUB and EPDF available Open Access under CC-BY-NC-ND licence.

Drawing on the voices and experiences of refugees, activists and professional practitioners, this collection illustrates the complexities of migration with real world case studies, and the possibilities of innovative and compassionate interventions.

Highlighting the use of creative and narrative methods in the social, therapeutic and community sectors, all chapters provide clear practice implications. Rather than presenting migration as a problem to be avoided, this book offers original insights on how research and practice can be better informed by the voices of those seeking a better way.

Review Quotes

'This book shines a critical light on the race to the bottom, characterized by lowest common denominator outcomes in policy and practice affecting vulnerable refugees and migrants. An essential read for all who champion hard fought for rights and standards with the lived experience of affected communities at the heart of better responses.' Grainne O'Hara, former United Nations Director of International Protection (2018-22)
