Terrorism, refugee, storytelling, ethnography
This article examines the conflation of 'refugees' with that of 'terrorism', critically interrogating how this conflation has occurred and the potential effect it has on those seeking refuge in new, sovereign territories. It ultimately argues for the creation of open spaces wherein those affected by the terrorism/refugee label can positively assert their identities to the contrary, confronting pervasive narratives of security with concentrated reminders of humanity.
