Forced Migrants' Agency in Transit provides a crucial academic examination of the lives of people caught between borders. This insightful volume delves into the often-overlooked choices and strategies employed by forced migrants as they navigate the complexities of transit—deciding whether to return, move forward, or stay in place. By presenting fresh research and grounded analysis, the authors explore how individuals exert agency despite the systemic constraints placed upon them. The book moves beyond traditional victim-centred narratives, instead offering a nuanced look at the resilience and decision-making processes inherent in the migrant experience. It is an essential resource for those studying sociology, migration policy, and humanitarian studies, providing an evidence-based framework for understanding the lived reality of those on the move. Whether you are an academic, practitioner, or someone seeking to understand the global dynamics of forced migration, this text offers clarity on how transit experiences shape both individual identity and international policy.
