Trade Review
"Keeping Heads Above Water promises to serve as a useful guide to others charged with evaluating assistance programs for refugees, internally displaced, and other marginal populations ... I am impressed with Basok's honest, 'on the ground' attempts to come up with realistic indicators and measures of the economic viability of small, urban enterprises." Patricia Pessar, Department of Anthropology, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. "Basok's observations on the situation of Salvadorean refugees in Costa Rica are pertinent and accurate ... She has done an excellent job." Josephine Smart, Department of Anthropology, University of Calgary.
