Human trafficking, forced labour and carceralities in the wild berry industry
This paper examines the exploitation of seasonal migrant labour in European agribusiness from the perspective of labour geography, combined with elements of carceral geographies of non-prison places. It presents a novel case study that focuses on three recent or ongoing aggravated human trafficking and forced labour court cases concerning wild berry companies; these companies misinformed seasonal migrant workers from Thailand, offering unfree, ev…
Towards Better (Territorial) Solutions for Displaced People
This article envisions alternatives for refugee camps, detention centres and precarious encampments by exploring the management of Tibetan refugee settlements, particularly in India. They have developed from encampments to unique settlements, forming a community some call the world’s most successful refugee community. In terms of existing alternative ideas to provide better placements for the displaced, these settlements share similarities with a…
Asylum Seeking Journeys in Asia
Terence Chun Tat Shum’s book, Asylum-Seeking Journeys in Asia: Refugees in Hong Kong and Bangkok, is a valuable contribution to refugee and migration studies. It addresses asylum-seeking journeys in and to Asia and ‘the social worlds of urban refugees’ through novel case studies from Hong Kong and Bangkok (p.x). These two Asian megacities have been less studied from this perspective, although their importance as migrant- and refugee-receiving cit…
Exploring (transit) migration through a postcolonial lens
This study contributes to the scholarly call to increase studies on migration from the perspective of postcolonial thought by exploring a novel ethnographic case; the migration of Tibetans who have migrated from Tibet via Nepal to India and who often aspire migrating onwards from India. It is argued that postcolonial thought gives a fuller understanding of migration via one place or several towards migrants’ final destinations, often called trans…

This ethnographic study contributes to the scholarly call to increase studies on refugee journeys. It explores Tibetan journeys via Nepal to India and provides a novel case study about the Tibetan refugees who commonly cross the Himalayas at least partly on foot without passports and head to the Tibetan Reception Centre in Kathmandu, Nepal, from where they are assisted to India. Conceptually, the study argues that combining the studies of refugee…
