Refugees : perspectives on the experience of forced migration

The growth of global refugee numbers in the past three decades and the political, economic, social and cultural ramifications of this growth, have generated intense political and public debate on forced migration. This volume brings together a collection of inter- disciplinary contributions that analyse the key forces that shape refugee movements. They consider the different dimensions of displacement and their effect on refugees. The essays emphasize the importance of valuing the resources, capacities and meanings indigenous to refugee communities and the close connection of personal and political elements in their lives. The book also aims at a more informed discussion on refugee assistance and asylum policies and practice.
