Growing numbers of people are displaced by war and violent
conflict. In Afghanistan, Ethiopia, Myanmar, Syria, and elsewhere
violence pushes civilian populations from their homes and sometimes
from their countries, making them refugees. In previous decades,
millions of refugees and displaced people returned to their place
of origin after conflict or were resettled in countries in the
Global North. Now displacements last longer, the number of people
returning home is lower, and opportunities for resettlement are
shrinking. More and more people spend decades in refugee camps or
displaced within their own countries, raising their children away
from their home communities and cultures. In this context,
international policies encourage return to place of origin. Using
case studies and first-person accounts from interviews and
fieldwork in post-conflict settings such as Uganda, Liberia, and
Kosovo, Sandra F. Joireman highlights the divergence between these
policies and the preferences of conflict-displaced people. Rather
than looking from the top down, at the rights that people have in
international and domestic law, the perspective of this text is
from the ground up-examining individual and household choices after
conflict. Some refugees want to go home, some do not want to
return, some want to return to their countries of origin but live
in a different place, and others are repatriated against their will
when they have no other options. Peace, Preference, and Property
suggests alternative policies that would provide greater choice for
displaced people in terms of property restitution and solutions to
displacement.
