The American University in Cairo Center for Migration and Refugee
Studies Program is pleased to announce the publication of the most
recent edited volume on forced displacement
Forced Displacement: Why Rights Matter?
Edited by: Katarzyna Grabska and Lyla Mehta
Palgrave Macmillan 2008
Uprootedness, exile and forced displacement, be they due to conflict,
persecution or even so-called \'development\', are conditions which
characterize the lives of millions of people across the globe. While the
international community has largely been concerned with refugees
crossing borders to flee persecution, violence, impoverishment and
brutal regimes, less attention has been paid to internally displaced
populations. This book problematises both policies and rights frameworks
in processes of displacement, while bridging the divide that exists
between refugee and development induced displacement studies.
This edited volume is the outcome of a collaborative research on forced
migration and rights undertaken by five research centers including CMRS.
The collaborative research was coordinated by the Development Research
Centre on Migration, Globalization and Poverty (DRC) at Sussex
University (http://www.migrationdrc.org/).
