Description
This project examines the relationship between a Migrant Refugee Community Organisation (MRCO) and their local authorities, to understand the power dynamic and how the relationship impacts the space within the migrant ecosystem. MRCOs offer a place of sanctuary to new arrivals attempting to navigate their way through the systems and processes of a new country. However, it is not only MRCOs who have an impact on migrants but also other actors within the migration ecosystem such as local authorities. Therefore, the dynamic of this relationship is investigated, through a postcolonial lens, to uncover whether this relationship is conducive to the support provided to newcomers, or whether it hinders services.
