"For too long the study of refugee issues has been seen as an isolated and often secondary challenge. It should now be analyzed within a much broader context with the needs and rights of people at the centre, rather than on the periphery. This book represents a substantial input into this developing debate." From the foreword by Sadako Ogata, United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, 1991-2000. |
