This book will be of interest to scholars working in a variety of fields, reaching from contemporary politics in the Middle East (with relation to the experiences in Afghanistan and Syria and how refugees from these countries are rebuilding their lives and political identities in Germany); to refugee and migration studies; contemporary European and German history and politics.
The book develops an oral history approach, currently very much in vogue in both academic and general interest circles.
The author is a leading mid-career scholar on the UK academic History scene

'A powerful account of the 2015 summer of migration and what has followed it, from one of the volunteers on the scene. By drawing our attention to how refugees narrate their own lives - and particularly to what they have to say about politics and civic engagement - Haberlen offers readers not only a persuasive new narration of the refugee crisis, but also a hopeful new way to think about citizenship and belonging.'
