Doing good, however, is not as simple and straightforward as it might appear. Practices of solidarity are intertwined with questions of power. They are situated, relative and contested, unfolding in an ambivalent space between humanitarianism and political activism. This ethnographic account of the German »welcome culture« provides insights into the contested practices, imaginaries, interests and politics of refugee solidarity. Drawing on works from critical migration studies to social anthropology, Larissa Fleischmann develops an empirically grounded understanding of solidarity in migration societies. 330 1 $aBesprochen in: https://forced-migration-information.blogspot.com, 12 (2020) InfoDienst Migration, 1 (2021) 410 0$aKultur und Soziale Praxis 606 $aRefugees; Solidarity; Volunteering; Humanitarianism; Political Activism; Fleeing; Civil Society; Politics; Refugee Studies; Migration; Migration Policy; Social Movements; 610 $aCivil Society. 610 $aFleeing. 610 $aHumanitarianism. 610 $aMigration Policy. 610 $aMigration. 610 $aPolitical Activism. 610 $aPolitics. 610 $aRefugee Studies. 610 $aSocial Movements. 610 $aSolidarity. 610 $aVolunteering. 615 4$aRefugees; Solidarity; Volunteering; Humanitarianism; Political Activism; Fleeing; Civil Society; Politics; Refugee Studies; Migration; Migration Policy; Social Movements; 676 $a320 700 $aFleischmann$b Larissa$pMartin-Luther-Universita?t Halle-Wittenberg, Deutschland$4aut$01204685 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996379038703316 996 $aContested Solidarity$92780301 997 $aUNISA
