The twentieth century has seen people displaced on an unprecedented
scale and has brought concerns about refugees into sharp focus.
There are forty million refugees in the world--1 in 130 inhabitants
of this planet. In this first interdisciplinary study of the issue,
fifteen scholars from diverse fields focus on the worldwide
disruption of "trust" as a sentiment, a concept, and an experience.
Contributors provide a rich array of essays that maintain a
delicate balance between providing specific details of the refugee
experience and exploring corresponding theories of trust and
mistrust. Their subjects range widely across the globe, and include
Palestinians, Cambodians, Tamils, and Mayan Indians of Guatemala.
By examining what individuals experience when removed from their
own culture, these essays reflect on individual identity and
culture as a whole.
