This book was released on 1985 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report is a case study of the refugees from Burundi and their settlement in Tranzania. It is confined to a period in which refugees in Africa settled on vancant land, either spontaneously among the local populations in the receiving countries or in designated areas where plots were allocated to the refugees to furnish them with a living. Since then, different ways of dealing with refugees have been applied in Africa as well as on other continents - such as maintaining them in camps for years supported by external aid. The study reveals that refugee situations can be rooted deeply in history. It shows that settlements for refugees, however hampered by poor physical qualities, can provide a safe shelter and means livelihood by which to subsist without external aid.

Book Synopsis Mass Refugee Influx and the Limits of Public International Law by : Ann Vibeke Eggli
Download or read book Mass Refugee Influx and the Limits of Public International Law written by Ann Vibeke Eggli and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-11-15 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Situations of mass refugee influx represent by their very size and urgency daunting evidence of human suffering and cruelty. Consequently, the level and quality of refugee protection in times of crisis is tested. The choices to be made have to take into due consideration the prevalent conditions and restraints. They will probably always result in compromises. The question is whom or what the compromises are about? The focus in the present volume has been set on a detailed examination of some legal preconceptions commonly found in situations of mass refugee in-migration. The author concludes that situations when refugees arrive en masse do not, as a rule, qualify as a public emergency that threatens the life of the nation under contemporary international human rights law, and that mass expulsion of refugees as an emergency measure is prohibited at all times when this entails the risk of violating rights immune to derogation.

Book Synopsis Purity and Exile by : Liisa H. Malkki
Download or read book Purity and Exile written by Liisa H. Malkki and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2012-12-14 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this study of Hutu refugees from Burundi, driven into exile in Tanzania after their 1972 insurrection against the dominant Tutsi was brutally quashed, Liisa Malkki shows how experiences of dispossession and violence are remembered and turned into narratives, and how this process helps to construct identities such as "Hutu" and "Tutsi." Through extensive fieldwork in two refugee communities, Malkki finds that the refugees' current circumstances significantly influence these constructions. Those living in organized camps created an elaborate "mythico-history" of the Hutu people, which gave significance to exile, and envisioned a collective return to the homeland of Burundi. Other refugees, who had assimilated in a more urban setting, crafted identities in response to the practical circumstances of their day to day lives. Malkki reveals how such things as national identity, historical consciousness, and the social imagination of "enemies" get constructed in the process of everyday life. The book closes with an epilogue looking at the recent violence between Hutu and Tutsi in Rwanda and Burundi, and showing how the movement of large refugee populations across national borders has shaped patterns of violence in the region.
Book Synopsis Refugee and Labour Movements in Sub-Saharan Africa by : Jonathan Baker
Download or read book Refugee and Labour Movements in Sub-Saharan Africa written by Jonathan Baker and published by Nordic Africa Institute. This book was released on 1995 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report is the second of a series on emergencies and disaster relief published by the Swedish International Development Authority and the Nordic Africa Institute. It contains two papers that focus on some longer term impacts of refugee and migrant worker flows which have implications for the way humanitarian relief is conceptualised and planned. The first is an overview of migrant worker and refugee flows in Sub-Saharan Africa. It suggests that the negative impact of exporting male workers from rural households has been overemphasised. While there is psychological stress from family separations and the spread of Aids is associated with labour migration, such movements can also be viewed as a capital accumulation strategy which financially benefits the sending households without necessarily leading to a drop in their agricultural production and as vital foreign exchange for the sending country through incoming remittances. It also suggests that the presence of refugees is not necessarily an economic burden for the host country. Refugees may, as a labour source and as consumers, contribute to development. The second paper reviews the literature on shelter and settlement strategies for refugees. It advocates a conceptual approach which is developmental rather than relief-oriented, an approach which integrates refugees' and hosts' needs and puts emphasis on tackling the long term consequences of mass forced migration. Current practice is critically appraised to draw out the lessons of best practice and find alternatives to encampment style shelter. The author does not believe that the integrated planning and durable housing which he advocates would dissuade refugees from repatriating.
Book Synopsis Politics of Innocence by : Simon Turner
Download or read book Politics of Innocence written by Simon Turner and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2010 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on thorough ethnographic fieldwork in a refugee camp in Tanzania this book provides a rich account of the benevolent "disciplining mechanisms" of humanitarian agencies, led by the UNHCR, and of the situated, dynamic, indeterminate, and fluid nature of identity (re)construction in the camp. While the refugees are expected to behave as innocent, helpless victims, the question of victimhood among Burundian Hutu is increasingly challenged, following the 1993 massacres in Burundi and the Rwandan genocide. The book explores how different groups within the camp apply different strategies to cope with these issues and how the question of innocence and victimhood is itself imbued with ambiguity, as young men struggle to recuperate their masculinity and their political subjectivity.

Book Synopsis The Making of the Modern Refugee by : Peter Gatrell
Download or read book The Making of the Modern Refugee written by Peter Gatrell and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2013-09-12 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Making of the Modern Refugee proposes a new approach to a fundamental aspect of twentieth-century history by bringing the causes, consequences and meanings of global population displacement within a single frame. Its broad chronological and geographical coverage, extending from Europe and the Middle East to South Asia, South-East Asia and sub-Saharan Africa, makes it possible to compare crises and how they were addressed. 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. How and for whom did refugees become a "problem" for organizations such as the League of Nations and UNHCR and for non-governmental organizations (NGOs)? What solutions were entertained and implemented, and why? What were the implications for refugees? These questions invite us to consider how refugees engaged with the myriad ramifications of enforced migration, and thus the significance that they attached to the places they left behind, to their journeys and destinations--in short, how refugees helped interpreted and fashioned their own history. The Making of the Modern Refugee rests upon scholarship from several disciplines and draws upon oral testimony, eye-witness accounts and cultural production, as well as extensive unpublished source material.
