It takes a new approach to the subject, exploring its causes, consequences, and meanings. History, the author shows, provides important clues to understanding how the idea of refugees as a 'problem' embedded itself in the minds of policy-makers and the public, and poses a series of fundamental questions about the nature of enforced migration and how it has shaped society throughout the twentieth century across a broad geographical area - from Europe and the Middle East to South Asia, South-East Asia, and sub-Saharan Africa. Wars, revolutions, and state formation are invoked as the main causal explanations of displacement, and are considered alongside the emergence of a twentieth-century refugee regime linking governmental practices, professional expertise, and humanitarian relief efforts. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis new study rests upon scholarship from several disciplines and draws extensively upon oral testimony, eye-witness accounts, and film, as well as unpublished source material in the archives of governments, international organisations, and non-governmental organisations. \u003cem\u003eThe Making of the Modern Refugee\u003c\/em\u003e explores the significance that refugees attached to the places they left behind, to their journeys, and to their destinations - in short, how refugees helped to interpret and fashion their own history.","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46484171489431,"sku":"9780198744474","price":4579.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780198744474.jpg?v=1766322079","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-making-of-the-modern-refugee-9780198744474","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
