Dehumanization in the Global Migration Crisis
Synopsis
This book explores the complex meaning of dehumanization within the global migration crisis, drawing on interviews with refugees and asylum seekers. It offers a philosophical yet empirical account, arguing that dehumanization is a form of moral exclusion characterized by a disregard for human subjectivity. The analysis examines how various practices, from refugee camp conditions to political negotiations, deny the humanity of displaced persons. It also provides a critical discourse analysis of how the term 'dehumanization' is used in reporting on the crisis.
