[ecrea] new book Migration by Boat: Discourses of Trauma, Exclusion and Survival

*Migration by Boat: Discourses of Trauma, Exclusion and Survival*

At a time when thousands of refugees risk their lives undertaking 
perilous journeys by boat across the Mediterranean, this 
multidisciplinary volume could not be more pertinent. It offers various 
contemporary case studies of boat migrations undertaken by asylum 
seekers and refugees around the globe and shows that boats not only move 
people and cultural capital between places, but also fuel cultural 
fantasies, dreams of adventure and hope, along with fears of invasion 
and terrorism. The ambiguous nature of memories, media representations 
and popular culture productions are highlighted throughout in order to 
address negative stereotypes and conversely, humanize the individuals 
involved.

*Lynda Mannik* is a Lecturer in Cultural Anthropology at York 
University. She is the author of /Photography, Memory and Refugee 
Identity: the voyage of the S.S. Walnut, 1948/ (UBC Press 2012); 
/Reclaiming Canadian Bodies: Representation and Visual Media/ (Wilfrid 
Laurier Press, 2015); and /Canadian Indian Cowboys: Rodeo, 
Representation and the RCMP at the Royal Easter Show, 1939/(University 
of Calgary Press, 2006).
