Camps: Genealogies of Refugee Spaces in the Levant

Edited by Kamel Doraï and Ayham Dalal

Camps are conceived as temporary spaces, yet their materialities and histories diverge widely, from the white tents of the colonial era to the dense alleyways of long-established refugee settlements, and from prefabricated units to mobile caravans. This book traces a century of camp formations in the Levant and examines how they have evolved within broader processes of urbanization, conflict and governance. Bringing together architects, geographers, historians and social scientists, it offers an interdisciplinary perspective on the changing functions and meanings of camps. Rather than viewing them solely as tools designed to contain displaced populations in the Global South, the book argues that understanding the spatialities of refugee camps in the Levant is essential for rethinking encampment practices and policies worldwide.
