Refuge, How the State Shapes Human Potential

Heppa, spoke to zappyr as part of the research for her recent book called refuge. And it's about syrians who are on the move from syria to countries that they think will offer them refuge. Heppa: The racial politics of each of these countries shapes both who is allowed to resettle and the way the social safety nets available to them work or don't work when they arrive. All of that, in turn, informs the way that refugees like zaper experience race in their new homes and as minorities.
