More than fifty years after their arrival in Lebanon, half of the Palestinian refugees still live in camps. They are one of the diaspora communities with the most problematic future. Both actors and victims of the wars which tore Lebanon apart from 1975 to 1990, they suffered successive internal exoduses which resulted, for nearly 100,000 of them, in a new and ever more distant exile. But, beyond the political fractures and the effects of the civil war, how to think about the Palestinian presence in Lebanon today? What about the sustainability of the camps in this region crossed by geopolitical crises? How to decipher the emigration of a growing number of refugees to new poles, like Europe or North America? How can we give meaning to these migrations without finally resorting to a more global reflection on refugee status? Because if the contours of a future Palestinian state are emerging with difficulty ten years after the establishment of the Oslo accords, the question of refugees is most often relegated to the background, behind that of the building of a state. independent. Refugees are thus de facto marginalized.Through the Palestinians of Lebanon and their current migratory dynamic, it is indeed the questions of the return, the installation and the spatial redeployment of a diaspora of refugees that are raised here.
