Crossing
The first in-depth exploration of the persistence and pervasiveness of a dangerous legal fiction about people who cross borders: the binary distinction between migrant and refugee. Today, the concept of "the refugee" as distinct from other migrants looms large. Immigration laws have developed to reinforce a conceptual dichotomy between those viewed as voluntary, often economically motivated, migrants who can be legitimately excluded by potential host states, and those viewed as forced, often politically motivated, refugees who should be let in. In Crossing, Rebecca Hamlin argues against advocacy positions that cling to this distinction. Everything we know about people who decide to move sugg...
Let Me be a Refugee
Why do decision-makers in similar liberal democracies interpret the same legal definition in very different ways? International law provides states with a common definition of a "refugee" as well as guidelines outlining how asylum claims should be decided. Yet, the processes by which countries determine who should be granted refugee status look strikingly different, even across nations with many political, cultural, geographical, and institutional commonalities. This book compares the refugee status determination (RSD) regimes of three popular asylum seeker destinations - the United States, Canada, and Australia. Despite similarly high levels of political resistance to accepting asylum seeke...

Drawing Blood
Finley Jayne uncovered the truth about Caine Butcher’s murder and eliminated any chance she had to blend in at Seaside Academy. She would like nothing more than to fade into obscurity… but fate has other plans. When Rebecca Hamlin is found murdered on Halloween night, Finley can’t let the disturbing circumstances of her death go. It’s not because Rebecca was uncharacteristically nice the week before she died. Or, that Finley has some unwavering desire to find the truth. The detail haunting Finley is that Liam Butcher, the bad boy she occasionally makes out with, is the number one suspect. Rumor has it Rebecca cheated on Butcher with Caine just before Caine was murdered. And half the student body saw Butcher and Rebecca in a heated argument hours before she died. But that doesn’t make him a murderer… does it? Knowing she’ll be drawing attention to herself once more, Finley sets out to prove Butcher’s innocence - even if he refuses her help. DRAWING BLOOD is the second book in the young adult thriller series, THE SEASIDE PREP HOCKEY MYSTERY SERIES. Fans of ONE OF US IS LYING and A GOOD GIRL’S GUIDE TO MURDER can’t put this thrilling book down!

Jesus the Refugee
Images of modern refugees often invoke images of the infant Christ and the historical circumstances of the holy family's flight to Egypt in the face of persecution. But rather than leaving this association at the merely symbolic level, Jesus the Refugee explores Jesus's flight through modern legal conventions on refugee status in the United States and the European Union. Would Jesus and his parents be protected from refoulement? Would they receive rights to employment and civic engagement? Would they be turned away? Is the holy family a refugee family? Jesus the Refugee argues that the holy family has a limited set of legal options for protection, but under current law is unlikely to receive any. This shocking claim stands or falls on legal details like the ability to demonstrate reasonable fear of persecution, or whether fleeing Palestine (but not the Roman Empire) affords protection for internally displaced migrants. Besides introducing the basics of modern refugee law and processes, Jesus the Refugee aims to raise ethical challenges to our current refugee system by highlighting Jesus as one of the "least of these," indicting our moral failures and challenging us to make amends.
Reconfiguring Refugees
Shows how domestic identity narratives and political polarization shape the sociopolitical response to refugees The United States once played a major role in global refugee resettlement, accounting for nearly two-thirds of all refugees resettled worldwide. However, in recent years, it has dramatically cut refugee admissions and implemented discriminatory policies on refugee protection. These policies have been justified amid intensifying xenophobic rhetoric against specific groups. In this book, Alise Coen explains why the monumental shift around refugee resettlement occurred, particularly in response to the high-profile conflict in Syria. She shows how refugees—and broader global migratio...
