Three rationalities for making sense of internal displacement in Ukraine
The territorial disputes between Russian Federation and Ukraine over Crimea and Donbas have led to the forcible internal displacement of at least 1.6 million people. While Although the literature on forced migration and internal displacement have been framed predominantly in terms of trauma and disenfranchisement (IOM 2018; Dunn 2018), this article argues that a fuller range of Internally Displaced Person (IDP) subjectivities can be made intellig…
Working through warfare in Ukraine: Rethinking militarization in a Ukrainian theme café
The conflict between Ukraine and Russia in the Donbas region has led both countries to strengthen their respective militaries. The literature on militarization emphasizes the subtle and largely unconscious ways in which militarization spreads through society. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork conducted between 2015 and 2017, I argue that attention to the intersubjective aspects of the process exposes the self-conscious working-through of military…
Social Memory
Social memory refers to the set of representations, practices, and performances that constitute a collective interpretation of the past. Social memory, whether it is being used discursively in the construction of reality or strategically to gain access to resources, is at the core of being human. Studies of social memory describe the connection of memory to power and its use by the nation‐state; the role of trauma and nostalgia in recollecting or…

Genocide's Aftermath: Neostalinism in Contemporary Crimea
The Crimean Tatars’ genocide is one of the clearest, and yet least studied of twentieth-century genocides. This article explores that genocide’s aftermath, beginning with the Crimean Tatars’ attempts to reinscribe their presence in their historic homeland following the 1944 deportation. The ongoing contestations over the past are examined here as a historical habitus informing attitudes and behavior in the present. Drawing on unparalleled intervi…
This blessed land: Crimea and the Crimean Tatars
This blessed land: and the Crimean Tatars, by Paul Robert Magocsi, Toronto, University of Toronto Press, 2014, 152 pp., $24.95 (hbk), ISBN 978-0-772-75110-2This Blessed Land by Paul Robert Magocsi fills a notable gap in the English-language literature on Crimea. While the scope of the book is vast, beginning before the Common Era and ending in 2013, Magocsi succeeds in crafting a narrative that is both balanced and engaging. While one might initi…
The Responsibilization of Refugees in the United States: On the Political Uses of Psychology
Contemporary theorizing about refugees has centered on the refugee as a victim of disciplinary coercion and a focus, especially in camps, of biopolitical control. This article expands that line of inquiry in a different direction by closely considering the interstitial space between refugee service providers and their clients. Analytics of governmentality reveal not the victimization but the responsibilization of refugees through orientation prog…
Children's Migration and the Politics of Compassion
The International Smuggling of Children: Coyotes, Snakeheads, and the Politics of Compassion
Each year, over 100,000 children are apprehended entering the United States unaccompanied by parents or legal guardians, and without valid immigration documents. As many as 8,000 of these children are placed in an elaborate system of border patrol detention centers, shelter facilities, and courts. While the Department of Health and Human Services (through the Office of Refugee Resettlement) funds programs that care for the undocumented immigrants…

Beyond memory: The Crimean Tatars' Deportation and Return
In the early morning hours of May 18, 1944 the Russian army, under orders from Stalin, deported the entire Crimean Tatar population from their historical homeland. Given only fifteen minutes to gather
Irregular and Illegal Migration through Ukraine
With the expansion of Europe's borders, Ukraine has entered the spotlight of attention as a source and transit country for irregular migrants. Irregular migration has risen on the international security and political agendas because it is perceived as a threat to security, and has been linked to problems such as crime and drugs. In the debate about how to manage this migration, the voices of the migrants themselves are often lost. Drawing on a re…
The first independent Ukrainian census in Crimea: Myths, miscoding, and missed opportunities
State-defined identity categories can have a profound impact on individuals' conception of themselves. Like birth certificates and migration documents, the census is a crucial instrument in producing and maintaining ethnic and racial identities. Recent research suggests that censuses measure preferences, rather than objective data, and can profitably be studied along the lines of political campaigns. This article advances the idea that the next q…
Sitting on Suitcases: Ambivalence and Ambiguity in the Migration Intentions of Crimean Tatar Women
Studies of migration can be confounded by the contradictory and ambiguous statements of informants. While earlier analyses explained refugee, exile, and migrant adjustment in terms of stages, recent theorizing has led scholars to accept ambiguous attachments, dual loyalties, and alternative conceptions of home as normal. The Crimean Tatar repatriation challenges aspects of conventional approaches to migration and postmodern ones. Following over 5…
The Crimean Tatars in Uzbekistan: Speaking with the dead and living homeland
Squatting, Self-Immolation, and the Repatriation of Crimean Tatars
In the summer of 1978, a Crimean Tatar man named Musa Mamut walked out of his home in a small village in the Crimea toward a policeman waiting for him at his front gate. He was to be taken to the station for questioning, and quite possibly arrested for “violation of the passport regime.” But Mamut had already drenched himself with gasoline and, lighting a match, was engulfed in flames. He ran toward the policeman, who ran the other way. A deliver…
