..". a useful resource for practitioners and activists, both in
South Africa and elsewhere. It represents a substantive study in an
area that has been neglected, particularly in South Africa, and
points to the dire need for more research and study." .

"This collection of essays is a significant advance in the field
of refugee protection and the law in South Africa, as very little
research has been done on this topic. Few authors other than those
included in the collection have addressed wider refugee and
migration issues in South...a very enlightening resource for both
practitioners and academic researchers in South Africa and
elsewhere." . African Affairs
"This book will provide important background reading for a
second generation of researchers to look beyond the establishment
of the asylum system to consider the extent to which, over the long
term, there is substantial and contextually appropriate asylum
policy in South Africa. It is equally useful for those involved in
comparative studies of different asylum systems because of the
detail that is provided about the internal functioning of the
relevant South African government departments." . International
Migration & Integration
Divided into three thematic parts to guide the reader, this
important volume documents the development and implementation of
refugee policy in South Africa over a 10-year period from 1996
until 2006. In doing so, it addresses issues of detention, gender,
children and health as well as welfare policies for refugees. The
contributions, all written by academics and practitioners of
refugee protection, vividly illustrate the tangible shifts and
concerns of a process that is not only aimed at establishing
policies and legislation but also practices concerning
refugees.
