Refugees and asylum seekers are the subject of major debates both
at national and international level. But the debates exclude a
gendered perspective that considers the experiences and needs of
men and women. This study provides a comprehensive account of the
situation of women refugees globally and explains how they differ
from men. Looking at causes of refugee flows, international laws
and conventions and their application, the policies and legislation
of Western governments, and lived experiences of refugees
themselves, this book is a much-needed addition to the migration
literature.
This revised and updated 2nd edition of Freedman's hard-hitting
study aims to remedy the current lack of gender-specific analyses
of asylum and refugee issues. It provides a comprehensive account
of the situation of women in global forced migration, and explains
the ways in which women's experiences are shaped by gendered
relations and structures.

Nikki had never heard of Casablanca until the movie came out with
Humphrey Bogart. She never dreamed that at the age of 22 she would
be living there, much less involved in an intrigue. She felt very
insecure at that time when her husband, Roger, left her alone in
Marrekech and the Pasha tried to get her. She had been raised very
strictly by her aunt and uncle and was very naive when she married
him at age 18. Now she was seeing the world. She never dreamed that
she would fall in love with Roger's best friend. How was this going
to wind up? She didn't know what to do. She never dreamed that she
would be living the life she was living and though she loved it,
she also longed for the security of the days when she was young.
Also, she missed her only sibling, her sister who was still in San
Antonio. They had always been so close and had talked things over
and now it was not really possible.

"A daring and compulsively page-turning historical what-if fiction.
. . A remarkably realistic alternative world story. . .
Unapologetically opinionated, challenging, and thought provoking."
-Publishers Weekly "I am simply blown away by the imagination and
scholarship that has gone into Mitchell Freedman's fabulous novel,
A Disturbance of Fate. Incredibly, Freedman pulls off this
historical fantasy and tells a truly fascinating, though very
controversial, tale." -Dan E. Moldea, author of The Killing of
Robert F. Kennedy "A Disturbance of Fate is fun and imaginative. It
presents a fascinating extrapolation from what we know about our
history and reaffirms the importance of Robert F. Kennedy's legacy
and vision." -Peter Edelman, author of Searching for America's
Heart: RFK and the Renewal of Hope, and legislative assistant to
Senator Robert F. Kennedy "A Disturbance of Fate is a powerful and
creative work of social realism." -Dr. Kevin Starr, State Librarian
of California and award-winning author of the series, Americans and
The California Dream "Whether you agree with Mitch Freedman's
political views or not, his book is an exciting and imaginative
exercise in what could have been." -The late Alan W. Bock, senior
editorial writer, Orange County Register and author of Waiting to
Inhale: The Politics of Medical Marijuana Enter a history where
Robert F. Kennedy was never killed, and where he went on to win the
Presidency of the United States of America. Contrary to what some
may believe, the time in which RFK survives is not tidy and
perfect; it is not the utopia that many of his supporters have come
to believe over the years. As in life, this daring alternate
history twists and turns at the surprises and ironies along the
way. Drawing from political, economic, and cultural trends to paint
a realistic vision of what might have been, A Disturbance of Fate
is guaranteed to leave you thinking about the fluidity of history.
" Freedman's] is a bold . . . look at a vital era, when many roads
seemed possible." -Los Angeles Times Magazine "A Disturbance of
Fate is more than a 'disturbance.' The book weaves a tale that
transcends the end of an era...The portrayal of Robert Kennedy is
at once, painful, yet undeniably picturesque." -The late Paul
Conrad, three-time Pulitzer Prize winning political cartoonist for
the Los Angeles Times "Mitchell Freedman's A Disturbance of Fate is
a novel of marvels: offering readers a gripping political
narrative, vividly realized in every detail, Freedman invites us to
imagine an alternate universe whose origins lie in the epochal year
of 1968 and whose fate is as strange and surprising as history
itself." -Michael Berube, president-elect, Modern Language
Association; Joseph Paterno Professor of Literature and Cultural
Studies, Penn State University, and author of Higher Education
Under Fire: Politics, Economics and the Crisis of the Humanities
..".(A) radically different...(and) ambitious view of what would
have happened had Robert Kennedy lived...It deals with...every
domestic and foreign issue, and twenty-plus years of alternate
American history following Robert Kennedy's election in 1968."
-Jeff Greenfield, author of Then Everything Changed: Stunning
Alternate Histories of American Politics: JFK, RFK, Carter, Ford,
Reagan and distinguished political reporter for CBS News Mitchell
J. Freedman has history and political science degrees from Rutgers
