Digital Exiles

ENDORSEMENTS

“A powerful and empirically grounded intervention, Digital Exiles exposes structural barriers while pointing to humane pathways for improving refugee livelihoods in the digital age.”
—Mark Graham, Professor, University of Oxford; coauthor of Feeding the Machine

“A compelling and important exploration of how refugees engage in digital work—and the nuanced barriers that are easily overlooked. Relevant, insightful, and deeply needed.”
—Liz Vickers, Human Empowerment Coach, World of Work Expert, senior operations strategist

“A must-read for anyone who wants to gain an in-depth understanding of the industry of digital refugee livelihoods beyond the hype and meet the workers powering the global digital economy from the margins.”
—Iva Gumnishka, Founder, Humans in the Loop

“Digital Exiles offers a necessary antidote to the optimism surrounding digital work opportunities for refugees. Based on extensive, comparative research with refugees in Lebanon, Kenya and Germany, the book offers a rigorous and balanced account of digital livelihood programs and gig work and shows how they heighten precarity for some of the world’s most marginalized people.”—Mirca Madianou, Professor, University of London, author of Telecolonialism
