In the years since the US-led invasion of Iraq, over 4 million
Iraqis have been forced to flee their homes, in what amounts to one
of the largest people movements in modern times, far exceeding the
Palestinian outflow after 1948. Despite media reports of an
improved security situation in Iraq, the majority of refugees are
still not prepared to return. The social, economic, political and
security consequences of the Iraq refugee crisis are huge. In this
rigorous and timely book, Joseph Sassoon explores the underlying
trends of Iraq's refugee flow: which class, ethnic and sectarian
groups have gone -- and are continuing to go -- where and how.
Based on extensive original research, he examines the economic
impact of this exodus on Iraq itself, and on the host countries of
the region: Jordan, Syria and Lebanon. He analyzes international
policy on the refugee issue, and assesses the options for return
and resettlement. "The Iraqi Refugees" is both the first and the
definitive guide to what will come to be seen as one of the most
significant issues affecting the entire Middle East.
