This book is about the lives of refugee women in Britain and
France. Who are they? Where do they come from? What happens to them
when they arrive, while they wait for a decision on their claim for
asylum, and after the decision, whether positive or negative? It
shows how laws and processes designed to meet the needs of men
fleeing political persecution often fail to protect women from
persecution in their home countries and fail to meet their needs
during and after the decision-making process. It portrays refugee
women as resilient, resourceful and potentially active participants
in British and French social, political and cultural life. It
exposes the obstacles that make active participation difficult. The
book is an authoritative and thorough synthesis of all available
material on refugee women in Britain and France. The style is
accessible and highly readable, making this an ideal book for
academics, students and interested readers. -- .
