In this blog entry, Ahmad Jaber (Benswait) proposes critical sociolinguistic ethnography (CSE) as a counterhegemonic approach to understanding statelessness. Being a stateless person who has lived and investigated the implications of statelessness (auto)ethnographically, Benswait argues that CSE offers a framework that accounts for complex ramifications of statelessness, while making visible how power and agency are never beyond the reach of stateless peoples.
