Exploring experiences, interpretations and practices of 'refugees,' 'the internally displaced' and 'returnees' in or emerging from societies in violent conflict, this volume challenges prevailing orthodoxies and encourages new developments in refugee studies. It also addresses the ethics and politics of interventions by professionals and policy makers, using case studies of refugees from or in South Asia, the Middle East, North Africa, Europe and the Americas. These illustrate the dynamic nature of situations where refugees, policy- makers and practitioners interact in trying to construct new livelihoods in transforming societies.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \tWithout a proper understanding of this dynamic nature, so the volume argues overall, it is not possible to develop successful strategies for the accommodation and integration of refugees.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \tAcknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e \tList of Abbreviations\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eIntroduction:\u003c\/b\u003e Refugees, Agency and Social Transformation\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003ePhilomena Essed\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eGeorg Frerks\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eJoke Schrijvers\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003ePART I: 'REFUGEEHOOD': CLAIMING SPACES AND RESPONSIBILITIES\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 1.\u003c\/b\u003e Refugeehood, Loss and Social Change: Eritrean Refugees and Returnees\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eGaim Kibreab\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 2.\u003c\/b\u003e Repatriation: Angolan Refugees or Migrating Villagers?\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eOliver Bakewell\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 3.\u003c\/b\u003e Space and Movement in the Sri Lankan Conflict\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eOivind Fuglerud\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 4.\u003c\/b\u003e Contested Refugee Status: Human Rights, Ethics and Social Responsibilities\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003ePhilomena Essed\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eRianne Wesenbeek\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003ePART II: REDEFINING IDENTITIES AND SOCIAL RELATIONSHIPS\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 5.\u003c\/b\u003e A Life Project out of Turmoil: Displacement and Gender in Colombia\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eDonny Meertens\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 6.\u003c\/b\u003e Permanent Refugees: Female Camp Inhabitants in Bihar\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eKathinka Sinha-Kerkhoff\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 7.\u003c\/b\u003e New Opportunities: Angry Young Men in a Tanzanian Refugee Camp\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eSimon Turner\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 8.\u003c\/b\u003e Identities and the Sense of Belonging: Iranian Women Activists in Exile\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003ci\u003eHalleh Ghorashi\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003ePART III: DISCOURAGING POLICIES; EMPOWERING AGENCY\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003eChapter 9.\u003c\/b\u003e A Community Empowered?
