Summary:
"In the past few years, major transformations have occurred in relationships between Western societies and refugees seeking a home within their borders. A marked increase in the influx of refugees and asylum-seekers into these host societies has coincided with polarization in receiving societies' collective representations of refugees, associated with socio-economic and political dynamics shattering European and North American majorities' privileges in a globalizing world (1). Policy responses to growing demands of refugee reception have fueled polarized debates of both solidarity and exclusion within political discourses and local communities"-- Provided by publisher.
