The book is a contribution to the literature on refugees, spanning
politics, sociology, philosophy, psychology, psycho-social studies
and also post-colonial studies. Its focus is on the qualitative
research of Armin Danesh on nine political refugees from Iran and
also on his own story as a political refugee. It offers an outline
of a refugee experience which demonstrates their strength and
resilience and their agency in their new country. It therefore
offers a distinct challenge to the literature that tends to
stigmatise refugees as a 'problem' to be pushed to one side or as
victims, to be cared for and helped. Finally its focus on the fight
of these refugees for justice and human rights as well as rights
for women in their country of origin - Iran - challenges those
post-colonial theorists who view the discourse of human rights as a
westo-centric and problematic discourse.
