More than a decade since the start of the war in Syria, Turkey is home to almost four million of that country’s displaced citizens. Youth is one of the most vulnerable groups within the refugee population, as they struggle with language and education barriers and demands on them to assimilate while retaining their own culture. Lives in Limbo gives voice to the dreams of Syrian youth who have little hope of returning to their devastated homeland and explains why this generation’s future will shape how the region will develop. It explores how refugee youth create futures from the liminality of exile.

Rebecca Bryant is Professor of Cultural Anthropology at Utrecht University and Visiting Professor in the European Institute of the London School of Economics. Her most recent books include Sovereignty Suspended: Building the So-Called State, with M. Hatay (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2020) and The Anthropology of the Future, with D. M. Knight, (Cambridge University Press, 2019).
