Reviews

‘The result of one of the series of excellent conferences organised by the Centre for Research in Ethnic Relations at Warwick. Its appearance is timely ... a valuable source of material on a relatively neglected topic’. Zig Layton-Henry Ethnic & Racial Studies, 14 (3) 199 ‘[The book] adds up to a substantial body of factual material documenting the refugee ’crisis’ that has developed during the 1980s. It can therefore be viewed as a useful reference for those seeking an overview of the evolution of this crisis’. Robert Miles Critical Social Policy, 11 (31) 1991. ‘The numerous case studies are rich in data and provide some interesting theoretical insights. Naturally, such a large and diverse collection makes the formulation of a grand theory of refugee experiences a difficult task, though those who may wish to do so in the future will find the book very useful’. Y Shain International Migration, 28 (3) 1990
