Refugeehood and the Postconflict Subject: Reconsidering Minor Losses by Olga Demetriou (review)

Abstract

[ ]Demetriou’s discussion of refugeehood here is even more intriguing when approached in the light of her previous engagement with “capricious borders” (see Kostopoulou 2015) [ ]it contributes novel insights that are far from limited to one particular island [ ]Cyprus is one of the many cases that undermine the arrogant assumption that EU member states are ipso facto free of internal conflict Factors such as socioeconomic background and gender once again play a pivotal role in determining one’s acceptance and/or visibility [ ]some individuals always manage to bend, evade, or override the rules in order to escape the grip of official authority
