Forced Migration Review issue 48, entitled ‘Faith and responses to displacement’, is now online at www.fmreview.org/faith
The role of faith in the humanitarian sector is not easy to measure. Faiths generally advocate welcoming the stranger, and there are many organisations (and individuals) inspired by their faith or religion to assist people in need, and many faith leaders and communities who act locally to provide protection and aid. Yet it is easier to measure the activities inspired by faith than to measure the difference that having that faith makes, and secularly inspired standards for such activities can appear to be in tension with the faith inspiration.
This issue of FMR includes 36 articles relating to the feature theme ‘Faith’, plus seven general articles looking at the 40th anniversary of the OAU Convention, work and refugee integration in Sweden, Kashmiri Pandits in India, violence in Central America, displacement in Mexico, and the status of refugee integration in Uganda.
The full list of contents, with web links, is given at the end of this email.
The full issue and all the individual articles are now online in English in html, pdf and audio formats at www.fmreview.org/faith. It will also shortly be available in print and online in Arabic, French and Spanish.
