Description
How do refugees position themselves within discourses of deservingness, a category whose salience has intensified in migration-sensitive political contexts? Drawing on 40 in-depth Zoom interviews with Ukrainian female refugees in Germany, Popovych finds that refugees’ self-assessed deservingness is shaped by two intersecting dimensions: their perceived moral standing in the host society and within their national community.
