A cknowledgements This publication stems from the ‘Lost and Found: Testimonies of Migration, Resettlement, and Displacement’ project funded by the British Academy’s ‘Tackling the UKs International Challenges’ grant scheme. The editors wish to thank Mauricio Palma Gutierrez for his able help with editing, references and formatting. We mostly wish to thank the many Syrian refugees we spoke to through- out our time conducting fieldwork associated with this project. They shared their stories with generosity, humility and warmth which made this book’s completion feel increasingly vital. This book is dedicated to them, and their pursuits of making their homes away feel necessarily full. vii c ontents 1 Making Home Away: Introduction to the Collection 1 Helen Underhill, Vicki Squire, Yasmine Shamma, and Suzan Ilcan 2 Watfa’ Speaks 11 Dawn Chatty 3 Refugee-Refugee Hosting as Home in Protracted Urban Displacement: Sudanese Refugee Men in Amman, Jordan 31 Zoë Jordan 4 Archiving Displacement and Identities: Recording Struggles of the Displaced Re/making Home in Britain 55 Rumana Hashem, Paul Vernon Dudman, and Thomas Shaw 5 Archival Home Making: Reference, Remixing and Reverence in Palestinian Visual Art 79 Helen Underhill 6 Collecting: The Migrant’s Method for Home-Making 101 Genevieve Guetemme ix x CONTENTS 7 Syrian Experiences of Remaking Home: Migratory Journeys, State Refugee Policies, and Negotiated Belonging 123 Suzan Ilcan and Vicki Squire 8 Making Home in the Earth: Ecoglobalism in the Camps 147 Yasmine Shamma 9 Home Is Like Water: Nigerians in the Migration Pathway to the UK 169 Marissa Quie and Titi Solarin Index 193 n c otes on ontributors Dawn Chatty is Emeritus Professor in Anthropology and Forced Migration and former Director of the Refugee Studies Centre, University of Oxford, UK.

Genevieve Guetemme is a senior lecturer at the University of Orleans, France. Her research focuses on collecting and studying cultural and artis- tic images of displacement. These representations stand at the interfaces between drawing, photography and text, and investigate the ability of images to initiate an inclusive and hospitable process. The aim is to pro- duce efficient instruments to understand recent political contexts or, to say it differently, to reveal the transformative power of art as a way to adjust to new communal spaces. xi
