Growing directly out of the experiences of a team of historians at
Washington State University who designed a new foundational course
for WSU's common requirements, the Roots of Contemporary Issues
series is built on the premise that students will be better at
facing current and future challenges, no matter their major or
career path, if they are capable of addressing controversial and
pressing issues in mature, reasoned ways using evidence, critical
thinking, and clear written and oral communication skills. To help
students achieve these goals, each title in the Roots of
Contemporary Issues series argues that we need both a historical
understanding and an appreciation of the ways in which humans have
been interconnected with places around the world for decades and
even centuries. Much of the world's politics revolves around
questions about refugees and other migrating peoples, including
debating the scope and limits of humanitarianism; the relevance of
national borders in a globalized world; racist rhetoric and
policies; global economic inequalities; and worldwide environmental
disasters. There are no easy answers to these questions, but the
decisions that all of us make about them will have tremendous
consequences for individuals and for the planet in the future.
Ruptured Lives works from the premise that studying the history of
refugee crises can help us make those decisions more responsibly.
Examining conflicts-in Europe, the Americas, Asia, and Africa-that
have produced migrations of people fleeing dangers or persecution,
it aims to provide an intellectual framework for understanding how
to think about the conflicts that produce refugees and the effects
that refugee crises have on individuals and societies.
