Synopsis

This fact-filled resource helps readers understand the current turmoil and controversy surrounding the global refugee problem.

Here, in one volume, can be found a thorough overview of the refugee crisis―from the early 1900s to the present day. The events that created refugee populations and the efforts of international agencies and governments to deal with the crisis, as well as the financial and legal constraints those organizations face, are all covered in detail.

Biographical sketches of refugee activists and notable refugees are also included. A directory of international organizations and resettlement agencies and annotated lists of print and nonprint resources assist readers in further study efforts. The Global Refugee Crisis delivers solid, useful information that can serve as a foundation for decision-making, research, or simply enhanced understanding of this critical subject.
