'This is a timely and important book that makes a critical contribution to the literature on the politics of asylum in Africa. The book’s discussion of methodology and positionality are especially compelling and will serve as a template for a new generation of scholarship.' —James Milner, Associate Professor of Political Science, Carleton University, Canada Refugee Reception in Southern Africa by Nicholas Maple challenges us to rethink the concept, politics and practice of refugee reception and its impacts. Far more than just a legal and technical process, through two meticulously researched and contrasting case studies – Zambia and South Africa – Maple shows how reception is a highly politicised and long-term determinant of the lives, livelihoods, protection, and the rights of refugees. –Roger Zetter, Professor Emeritus, University of Oxford, UK
