Zusammenfassung:An empirical examination of contemporary refugee practices in BritainWeaves together theories of hospitality and labelling, applying them to the refugee regimeExpands the theoretical framework of hospitality, with development towards an understanding of externalised humanitarian hospitalityUnderpinned by rich empirical material: 34 interviews and 30+ years of archival research on government framing of the refugeeExamines three empirically grounded case studies on the British asylum system from the national, regional and grass-roots level: British internal asylum policies (1990-2017), British external policies during the Mediterranean Crisis (2010-17) and a counter-analysis of hospitality practices at the British local level (2015-17)Refugees in Britain intertwines theories of hospitality and labelling, and applies them to the British refugee regime. This allows for deeper insights into the notions of power, identification, responsibility, language and externalisation.Gillian McFadyen argues that the British refugee regime has developed towards an externalised humanitarian hospitality. The British practice is geographically projected beyond the territorial confines of the state in order to both control and exclude the refugee. In tandem, McFadyen engages with counter-discourses by examining local practices of British hospitality and showing acts of solidarity that challenge the statist logic. The result is a theoretically informed account of the British approach to externalisation and geographical seclusion of refugees, particularly in response to the current Mediterranean Crisis
