About this book
This book underscores the centrality of refugees to the workings of current dynamics of social and cultural membership in the welfare state. The contributions look into the meaning of the welfare state, as represented in legal and discursive practices, and the imagination of those seeking to build new lives in it.

Reviews
'This collection analysing the entanglements of representation, governance and risk when immigration/asylum policy meets welfare states is a significant development in migration studies. Careful empirical work and fascinating analysis exposes bureaucratic violence. A must read for those interested in all areas of state policy.'
Bridget Anderson, Professor of Migration, Mobilities and Citizenship, University of Bristol
'Illuminating the complex and contradictory ways in which Northern European states evoked their welfare systems as a rationale for, and means of, controlling, disciplining and managing the 2015 ‘refugee crisis’, this volume offers an important contribution to research on the construction of refugeeness and how this is experienced by refugees.'Karen Fog Olwig, Professor of Anthropology, University of Copenhagen
