Taking everyday practices and interactions as their focus, contributors draw on various theoretical perspectives to examine how tensions between humanitarianism and security are negotiated at the local level.

«“Haas and Shuman aim to clarify how asylum systems are not simply political and legal institutions but ones driven by sociocultural (sociomoral) norms, and succeed very well. Both convincing and convicting, this is a timely and necessary book.”»
«“This is an original and much-needed collection. Haas and Shuman bring together qualitative, largely ethnographic research that is incredibly rich and offers insight into particular localities of the asylum system that do not often emerge in scholarship, such as the roles of interpreters, immigration officers, and aid workers.”»
