The book to read this month, folks! Well done @Terminalias !! 💥🔥🎉 @SOASanthro @SOASpolitics @devcomms
🚨 New Book Alert! 🚨 We are excited to announce the publication of "Buildings of Refuge and the Postcoloniality of Asylum Infrastructure" by our colleague Paolo Novak @Terminalias , offering a powerful new perspective on the European migration crisis. Based on rich ethnographic research in central Italy, the book explores how everyday buildings, converted into shelters for asylum seekers, become spaces where global histories, local dynamics, and migration policies come together. Drawing on postcolonial and feminist approaches, it makes a timely contribution to ongoing debates on EU borders, their colonial legacies, and the transformative power of migration. 👉 A must-read for anyone interested in migration, bordering processes, and the lived realities of asylum seekers. 📘Access the book here: soas-repository.worktribe.co… @SOASEconomics

Help the Helen Kanitkar Library stay open! 📚 The library relies on the generosity of the anthropology alumni community. Without this space, students will lose a valuable hub where knowledge, creativity, and community thrive. 🔗Make a gift here: ow.ly/Hxgi50W2myN
