  • Taylor & Francis Inc The Mental Health of Refugees Ecological Approaches To Healing and Adaptation

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisIt is estimated that at least 33 million people around the world have been displaced from their homes by war or persecution. Numerous studies have documented high rates of psychological distress among these survivors of extreme violence and forced migration, yet very few have access to clinic-based mental health care. In any case, clinic-based services cannot adequately address the constellation of displacement-related stressors that affect refugees daily, whether in a new region of their homeland or a new country--stressors such as social isolation, the loss of previously valued social roles, poverty and a lack of employment opportunities, and difficulties obtaining education and medical care. Additionally, many refugees from non-western societies find western methods of psychiatric and psychological healing culturally alien or stigmatizing, and therefore underutilize such services. This book brings together an international group of experts on the mental health of refugees Trade Review"The well-reasoned approach of the authors and the clear description of the application of this method of healing makes this an extraordinary book which is apt to be of interest to those with education in psychiatry as well as to those with a less technical background."—Doody's Electronic Journal"This book brings together an international group of experts on the mental health of refugees who have pioneered a new approach to treatment."—Institute for the Study of Human KnowledgeTable of ContentsContents: Preface.

  • Cambridge University Press Whitehall and the Jews British Immigration Policy Jewish Refugees and the Holocaust

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisWhitehall and the Jews is the most comprehensive study to date of the British response to the plight of European Jewry under Nazism. It contains the definitive account of immigration controls on the admission of refugee Jews, and reveals the doubts and dissent that lay behind British policy. British self-interest consistently limited humanitarian aid to Jews. Refuge was severely restricted during the Holocaust, and little attempt made to save lives, although individual intervention did prompt some admissions on a purely humanitarian basis. After the war, the British government delayed announcing whether refugees would obtain permanent residence, reflecting the government's aim of avoiding long-term responsibility for large numbers of homeless Jews. The balance of state self-interest against humanitarian concern in refugee policy is an abiding theme of Whitehall and the Jews, one of the most important contributions to the understanding of the Holocaust and Britain yet published.Trade Review' … impeccably balanced … Louise London's book should be compulsory reading in Whitehall today.' David Cesarani, The Times Literary Supplement'Louise London's admirable book makes for disturbing reading.' Julia Pascal, The Independent' An important new book by Louise London … based on the cold, indisputable evidence of documents from the Public Records Office, punctures some of the myths about Britain's supposedly blameless past for tolerance and hospitality towards refugees.' Donald Macintyre, The Independent' … a scholarly tour de force … Louise London brilliantly shows how government contrives to manage its policies with the least interference from others, especially international organisations and the public.' Jewish Chronicle' … remarkably balanced and authoritative … this work … present[s] the Jewish issue in its rich historical context - a goal of every historian, but one that is seldom realized with the skill, insight and sensitivity displayed here.' Michael R. Marrus, University of Toronto'With encyclopedic knowledge and utter precision LouisE London has given us the most detailed account of British policy toward Jewish refugees and escapees from Nazi domination.' Raul Hilberg, Professor, University of Vermont'This is … the most comprehensive study to date of the british response to the plight of Europe's Jews from the rise of Hitler to the immediate postwar years.' The Hamstead and Highgate Express'… this book certainly adds to the topic and should be used as an example by others seeking to write the history of groups that migrated to Britain.' Sean Kelly, Reviews in History'Whitehall and the Jews makes a number of important contributions to the literature on this subject … Understanding how and why certain policy decisions are made necessitates doing what Louise London has so successfully done here - stepping into the shoes of policy-makers.' Liza Schuster, Ethnic and Racial Studies'… after reading Dr London's irrefutable conclusions, one is left wondering how many more might have been saved had there existed, in Whitehall, the genuine political will to save them.' Immigrants and Minorities'With all … previous work that has been undertaken on the entry of Jewish refugees, the question of whether another book on this topic is needed, has to be addressed. the simplest way. To answer this query is to ask whether London's work adds anything new to the topic. The answer is undoubtedly 'yes'. She goes beyond the sources that have been previously utilized, and opens up new areas of interest, as well as presenting a well-developed and supported argument.'

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisIn a revised edition of Morris' earlier work, which explored the realities behind the Palestinian exodus of 1948, fresh material considers battles, expulsions and atrocities that contributed to the disintegration of Palestinian communities. The story is harrowing. Refugees now number four million - their cause remains a major obstacle to peace.Trade Review'The book is thorough, shocking, and based upon the highest standard of historical research.' Journal of Peace Research'When published in 1988, The Birth of the Palestinian Refugee Problem was the first serious history of one of the central issues behind the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. A revised edition following the opening up of Israeli state archives for the period, examines in greater detail the actual events behind the flight of Palestinians from Jerusalem, Jaffa and Haifa.' Jewish ChronicleReview of the first edition '… The most comprehensive and detailed study yet published on the Palestinian refugees.' The EconomistReview of the first edition 'This excellent myth-debunking book … deserves a wide readership among those who want to understand what has happened in Israel over the last 40 years rather than repeat discredited propaganda which serves only to prolong the war.' The SpectatorReview of the first edition 'Mr Morris … is a rare combination of journalist and painstaking research historian, whose thorough use of Israeli, British and American archives - many of the materials unavailable until now - has enabled him to present a definitive history of his subject.' The New York Times Book ReviewTable of ContentsIntroduction; 1. Background; 2. 'Transfer': thinking in Zionism before 1948; 3. The first stage of the exodus, November 1947–March 1948; 4.

  • Cambridge University Press Chinese Refugee Law and Policy

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisThis book is the first to systematically examine Chinese refugee law and policy. It provides in-depth legal and policy analysis and makes recommendations to relevant stakeholders, drawing upon not only existing legal and policy scholarships but also empirical information acquired through field visits and interviews with refugees, former refugees, and staff of governmental and non-governmental organisations working with displaced population. It is a timely response to rapidly growing international interest in and demand for information about Chinese and Asian approaches to refugee protection in academia and the policy sector.Trade Review‘It can be very difficult, at the best of times, to penetrate the often intricate network of interacting policies, practices and laws which will determine who gets asylum protection in any one country and who does not. China's system is a particular case in point. Lili Song, through her assiduous research and clear understanding of what it can mean to go down the asylum road in China, has made a significant contribution to demystifying the decision-making processes, clarifying constraints and understanding how they play out in the broader international and regional contexts. An insightful and very worthwhile piece of scholarship.’ Erika Feller, University of Melbourne'China’s asylum policy is a conundrum. It is a long-time party to the Refugee Convention that received some 300,000 Vietnamese refugees during the 1970s and still tolerates a robust protection regime in Hong Kong. Yet China has no formal asylum procedure, receives only a trickle of protection requests, and stands accused of refoulement of North Korean and other refugees. Lili Song’s historical and policy analysis is a welcome first look at how this legal regime evolved, and where it is headed.’ James C. Hathaway, University of Michigan‘Despite China's mounting influence on the international stage and its growing engagement with international humanitarian and human rights issues, the country's refugee law and policy have never been the subject of a comprehensive and systematic analysis. This volume fills that major gap in an admirable manner, providing an incisive account of the Chinese perspective on refugee issues, both globally and in the Asian context.’ Jeff Crisp, University of Oxford and Chatham House'As Dr Song explains in this book, China has a long and varied experience with refugees, including the Indochinese crisis in the 1970s and 1980s, and more recently from North Korea and Myanmar. A little-known fact is that China has been a party to the Refugee Convention since 1982. This book provides unique and informed insights into China’s response to refugee issues nationally, and as a regional and global actor. It includes contemporary accounts of the responses of the two Special Administrative Regions of Hong Kong and Macau.’ Susan Kneebone, University of MelbourneTable of Contents1. Introduction; Part I.
