This book is a comprehensive guide to the lived experiences of refugees in Pakistan. It explores the ways in which the everyday state - the conjunto of institutions, practices, and discourses that shape the daily lives of refugees - mediates their experiences of displacement, asylum, and integration.

Based on extensive ethnographic research, the book offers a rich and nuanced account of the everyday lives of refugees in Pakistan. It traces their journeys from their homes to the refugee camps and urban settlements where they now live, and examines the challenges and opportunities they face in their new lives.
