The refusal or reception of refugees has had serious implications
for the social policies and social realities of numerous countries
in east and west. Exploring experiences, interpretations and
practices of 'refugees, ' 'the internally displaced' and
'returnees' in or emerging from societies in violent conflict, this
volume challenges prevailing orthodoxies and encourages new
developments in refugee studies. It also addresses the ethics and
politics of interventions by professionals and policy makers, using
case studies of refugees from or in South Asia, the Middle East,
North Africa, Europe and the Americas. These illustrate the dynamic
nature of situations where refugees, policy- makers and
practitioners interact in trying to construct new livelihoods in
transforming societies. Without a proper understanding of this
dynamic nature, so the volume argues overall, it is not possible to
develop successful strategies for the accommodation and integration
of refugees. Philomena Essed is Senior Researcher, University of
Amsterdam and Visiting Professor of Women's Studies, University of
California, Irvine.Georg Frerks is Professor of Disaster Studies,
Rural Development Sociology Group, Wageningen University. Joke
Schrijvers is a Social Anthropologist, Emeritus Professor of
Development Studies, University of Amsterdam
