The essays included in this volume mostly originate from the conference organised by the editors at Glasgow Women’s Library in March 2012. Language, multilingual narratives and interaction between cultures and languages were key themes of the conference.

Revealing the role of discrimination in disasters challenges received wisdom about who is a refugee.
Shedding new light on the issues concerning refugees and immigration in 20th-century Sweden, this analysis examines the implications of its immigration policies. On what grounds were refugees admitted? Where did they come from? How did the Swedish state aid its new citizens?

En kall vinterkväll 2001, bara nÃ¥gra dagar före jul, förs tvÃ¥ män ut till ett väntande flygplan pÃ¥ Bromma flygplats. De har blivit upplockade av poliser pÃ¥ väg hem till sina familjer, och har nu fÃ¥tt sina kläder uppskurna av maskerade män i rÃ¥narluvor och leds barfota ut till planet försedda i handbojor, fotbojor, och huvor. Dagen efter torteras av Mubarakregimens säkerhetstjänst i Egypten. Tre Ã¥r senare börjar tre journalister nysta i spÃ¥ren efter de tvÃ¥ egyptierna, och det mystiska flygplan med beteckningen N379P som inte bara landat pÃ¥ Bromma flygplats, utan som ocksÃ¥ dyker upp pÃ¥ en rad platser runt om i världen där människor samtidigt verkar försvinna spÃ¥rlÃ...
