..".a compelling collection of testimonies, dialogues, research and
experiences with displaced women in a diversity of locales and from
a diversity of angles... This volume should stimulate research at
the graduate level and also motivate further collaborative
inter-disciplinary research to feed into policy analysis and policy
making. Therefore, it will be of interest to a wide audience of
scholars, students, policy makers, advocates and service providers
interested in new developments and critical practices in a wide
range of domains related to gender and forced migrations." .

"The book as a whole offers an array of difficult topics: the
way women's identities are shaped and reshaped by the complicated
experiences of refugeeism; global sex trade and sex trafficking of
Eastern European women; connections between war and
homelessness...a valuable text that is bound to challenge students
and teachers alike, in both our methodologies and our personal
desires for an easy consumption of knowledge about the world and
ourselves." . Women's Review of Books
Not Born a Refugee Woman is an in-depth inquiry into the
identity construction of refugee women. It challenges and rethinks
current identity concepts, policies, and practices in the context
of a globalizing environment, and in the increasingly racialized
post-September 11th context, from the perspective of refugee women.
This collection brings together scholar_practitioners from across a
wide range of disciplines. The authors emphasize refugee women's
agency, resilience, and creativity, in the continuum of domestic,
civil, and transnational violence and conflicts, whether in flight
or in resettlement, during their uprooted journey and beyond.
Through the analysis of local examples and international case
studies, the authors critically examine gendered and interrelated
factors such as location, humanitarian aid, race, cultural norms,
and current psycho-social research that affect the identity and
well being of refugee women. This volume is destined to a wide
audience of scholars, students, policy makers, advocates, and
service providers interested in new developments and critical
practices in domains related to gender and forced migrations.
