Serena Parekh, "No Refuge: Ethics and the Global Refugee Crisis" (Oxford UP, 2020)
b'Discourse in wealthy Western countries about refugees tends to follow a familiar script.\\xa0How many refugees is a country morally required to accept?\\xa0What kinds of care and support are host countries required to provide?\\xa0Who is responsible to maintaining the resulting infrastructure?\\xa0What, ultimately, is to be done with refugees?\\nMany of these questions assume that states are morally required to rescue refugees.\\xa0Rarely does the discourse consider the role of wealthy Western countries in creating the conditions under which a refugee crisis emerges.\\xa0More importantly, we often overlook the role of wealthy Western countries in designing the systems that refugees must navigate in order to access support and assistance; as it turns out, these systems are often complex, inefficient, unfair, and haphazard.\\nIn No Refuge: Ethics and the Global Refugee Crisis (Oxford UP, 2020), Serena Parekh argues that the refugee crisis needs to be understood as two crises: one crisis focused on the moral responsibilities of wealthy Western countries in hosting refugees, and another having to do with the obstacles and impediments that refugees confront in accessing assistance.\\n\\xa0\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
