Throughout human history people have been driven from their
homes by wars, unjust treatment, earthquakes, and hurricanes. The
reality of forced migration is not new, nor is awareness of the
suffering of the displaced a recent discovery. The United Nations
High Commissioner for Refugees estimates that at the end of 2007
there were 67 million persons in the world who had been forcibly
displaced from their homes -- including more than 16 million people
who had to flee across an international border for fear of being
persecuted due to race, religion, nationality, social group, or
political opinion.
"Driven from Home" advances the discussion on how best to
protect and assist the growing number of persons who have been
forced from their homes and proposes a human rights framework to
guide political and policy responses to forced migration. This
thought-provoking volume brings together contributors from several
disciplines, including international affairs, law, ethics,
economics, and theology, to advocate for better responses to
protect the global community's most vulnerable citizens.
