Walking with Amal: the politics of the stranger
- Abstract:
- Little Amal is a giant puppet who walked across Europe in 2021 to highlight the plight of child refugees. This paper reflects on my experience of her visit to Oxford, UK, critically evaluating the political potential of the event through Amal’s status as stranger and arguing that the practice of walking with Amal provides new but qualified political potency.
