Drawing on the voices and experiences of refugees, activists and professional practitioners, this collection illustrates the complexities of migration with real world case studies, and the possibilities of innovative and compassionate interventions.

Highlighting the use of creative and narrative methods in the social, therapeutic and community sectors, all chapters provide clear practice implications. Rather than presenting migration as a problem to be avoided, this book offers original insights on how research and practice can be better informed by the voices of those seeking a better way.

Brian Callan is Lecturer in Psychosocial Studies at Goldsmiths, University of London. Pearson Nkhoma is Lecturer in Community Studies at Goldsmiths, University of London. Naomi Thompson is Senior Lecturer in Youth and Community Work at Goldsmiths, University of London.
