Description
Refugees, Forced Migrants, and Human Tragedies: An Interdisciplinary Critical Perspective focuses on a sustained analysis of the nature of forced displacement with an emphasis on the attendant human tragedies that come with the forced displacement of people. It explores the connections in refugee, migrant, and IDPs themes with a goal to sketching out some ways of thinking about refugees, migrants, and IDPs through the different chapters.
The collection aims to answer the following questions: What discourses are created around refugees, asylum seekers, and internally displaced persons (IDPs) from different parts of the world? What is the relationship between those discourses and foreign policies and national politics in the North and South? With chapters from scholars and policy makers from different parts of the world experiencing the refugee and forced migration crises, this book will enhance the perceptions we have on these populations and help to make the policies that govern them.
