Les réfugiés politiques en Inde. Le cas des Birmans à Delhi

Abstract

This paper is primarily based on fieldwork conducted in Delhi with Burmese refugees (mainly from Chin ethnic background) in November 2013. It aims at renewing the analysis on the space occupied by refugees in the city and at questioning anew the relationship between space and power. The historical and contemporary overview of Burmese refugees who have lived or still live in Delhi is therefore complemented with an analysis of the spatial and social marginalisation of which Burmese refugees are the victims.
