Co-written by two leading scholars of nonfiction comics, the book explores graphic narratives about a range of refugee experiences, from war, displacement, and perilous sea crossings to detention camps, resettlement schemes, and second-generation diasporas.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThrough close readings of work by diverse artists including Joe Sacco, Sarah Glidden, Don Brown, Olivier Kugler, Jasper Rietman, Hamid Sulaiman, Leila Abdelrazzaq, Thi Bui, and Matt Huynh, \u003ci\u003eGraphic Refuge \u003c\/i\u003eshows how comics challenge dominant representations of the displaced and bring a radical politics of refugee agency and refusal into view. Rather than simply affirming the \"humanity\" of the refugee, these comics demand that we apprehend the historical construction of categories such as \"citizen\" and \"refugee\" through systems of empire, settler colonialism, and racial capitalism. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBuilding on scholarship in critical refugee studies, architecture and infrastructure studies, and postcolonial theory, Davies and Rifkind argue that refugee comics move us through this wider recognition and towards more expansive ideas of refuge as a lived political relationship.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDominic Davies (Author) \u003c\/b\u003eis Senior Lecturer in English at City St George's, University of London.
