In particular, she provides a rich justification for the view that forced displacement and voluntary migration should be regarded as analytically distinct, and as impacting differently upon affected populations.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Jeffery's central conclusions are clearly articulated and convincingly integrated into the extant literature, to which the uninitiated reader is seamlessly introduced and becomes more familiar.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Jeffery's findings will interest those with a substantive interest in migration and forced displacement, while her research design will prove instructive to anyone using ethnographic methods.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book is highly accessible and manages well to break down the complex entanglements of the Chagossians' struggle within Mauritius and with the UK legal system.\u003c\/p\u003e -- .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eNote to readers\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction: Forced displacement and onward migration\u003cbr\u003ePart : Marginalisation and mobilisation \u003cbr\u003e1.
