Refugees and the Transformation of Societies: Agency, Policies, Ethics and Politics (Forced Migration Book 13)
معرفی کتاب «پناهندگان و تحول جوامع: عامل، سیاستها، اخلاق و سیاست (کتاب مهاجرت اجباری ۱۳)» (با عنوان لاتین Refugees and the Transformation of Societies: Agency, Policies, Ethics and Politics (Forced Migration Book 13)) نوشتهٔ Philomena Essed (editor); Georg Frerks (editor); Joke Schrijvers (editor)، منتشرشده توسط نشر Berghahn Books در سال 2004. این کتاب در فرمت pdf، زبان انگلیسی ارائه شده است.
The refusal or reception of refugees has had serious implications for the social policies and social realities of numerous countries in east and west. Exploring experiences, interpretations and practices of 'refugees,' 'the internally displaced' and 'returnees' in or emerging from societies in violent conflict, this volume challenges prevailing orthodoxies and encourages new developments in refugee studies. It also addresses the ethics and politics of interventions by professionals and policy makers, using case studies of refugees from or in South Asia, the Middle East, North Africa, Europe and the Americas. These illustrate the dynamic nature of situations where refugees, policy- makers and practitioners interact in trying to construct new livelihoods in transforming societies. Without a proper understanding of this dynamic nature, so the volume argues overall, it is not possible to develop successful strategies for the accommodation and integration of refugees.
