Human Rights and Refugee Protest Against Detention by Lucy Fiske PDF Summary

Book Description: At a time when the use of immigration detention is on the rise in the Global North, refugee protest is typically presented in the public sphere as 'bad behaviour' or as confirmation of 'their' otherness and inherent barbarity. This book goes some way in debunking this narrative in considering refugee protests against immigration detention from the perspective of detainees. Drawing on the work of Michel Foucault and Hannah Arendt as well as in-depth interviews with refugees, this book challenges contemporary human rights discourses which institutionalise power and argues instead, that despite the range of dehumanising policies and processes deployed against them, detained refugees remain agents and actively resist efforts to silence and exclude them.
