After Deportation - Book Launch with Shahram Khosravi

The Bridge Radio covered the launch of 'After Deportation: Ethnographic Perspectives' Edited by Shahram Khosravi Friday 1 December.
Listen in for the launch of Shahram Khosravi’s new book After Deportation: Ethnographic Perspectives, focusing on what happens to migrants and failed asylum seekers after deportation. What are the consequences of forced removal? What dangers and challenges do they encounter following ‘removal’? And what forms of life do they create in countries to which they are sent?
Shahram Khosravi will introduce his new book, followed by responses to his research from The Bridge Radio and Ung i Sverige.
The Bridge Radio is a community radio made up of people with and without citizenship who make radio about migration and asylum politics. www.thebridgeradio.dk Ung i Sverige is a group of young activists that started organising this summer in Stockholm against deportations to Afghanistan. They believe in stopping the deportation to Afghanistan on the grounds that the country is not safe. www.ungisverige.nu
