'We don't want to be sent back and forth all the time': Chagossian reflections on compulsion and choice in the context of forced displacement, onward migration, and prospective return
from Centre on Migration, Policy and Society (COMPAS)
This talk draws on a case study of forced displacement, onward migration, and prospective return within the living memory of one community, and explores questions of freedom and force ethnographically: How do members of this community conceptualise compulsion and choice in their own and others' lives, and with what implications for the politics of victimhood and claims for redress?
