How does violence shape statelessness? This question is answered in my most recent academic publication in the Journal of Political geography. Out now, open access (click here to read).
Summary
The article applies a feminist lens to the study of statelessness and violence.
Conceptually, it analyses the fast and slow violence of statelessness, the conditions that enable it, and the ‘survival work’ it produces.
Drawing inspiration from feminist writing on violence, I argue that in treating fast and slow violence as a ‘single complex’ we can see how the causes and consequences of violence that result in statelessness are often decoupled from one another through the passage of time.
Using the case study of the statelessness Vietnamese in Cambodia, the research presented here makes visible how statelessness is politically produced and the ways it infiltrates the everyday and private spaces of the home and the family.
Let’s talk about the hidden violences of statelessness and why a feminist lens matters. #Statelessness #HumanRights #Feminism #survivalwork
