Adapting an interdisciplinary approach that brings together literary studies, refugee studies, technology studies, and biopolitical theories, this book looks at contemporary Anglophone literature to examine how digital tools such as smartphones, cameras, and drones shape the refugee experience, offering new forms of surveillance, resistance, and identity.

Drawing on narratives from the Global South, particularly those affected by conflict and displacement, the book illustrates how refugees use technology to document, communicate, and resist technological erasure in the face of political and social systems that often marginalize them. The book positions refugee narratives as hybrid literary spaces, where erasure gives way to new forms of resistance, offering a powerful metaphor for the resilience of displaced people in the 21st century. By engaging with technological erasure practices, it also highlights how technology and flight intersect, reshaping how refugees relate to both their pasts and their new realities.
