Holding refugees in camps was anathema to the founders of the refugee protection regime. Today, with most refugees encamped in the less developed parts of the world, the humanitarian apparatus has been transformed into a custodial regime for innocent people. Based on rich ethnographic data, \u003ci\u003eRights in Exile\u003c\/i\u003e exposes the gap between human rights norms and the mandates of international organisations, on the one hand, and the reality on the ground, on the other. It will be of wide interest to social scientists, and to human rights and international law scholars. Policy makers, donor governments and humanitarian organizations, especially those adopting a \"rights-based\" approach, will also find it an invaluable resource. But it is the refugees themselves who could benefit the most if these actors absorb its lessons and apply them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t\u003ci\u003e“[the authors] are refreshingly open about their lack of objectivity and bias towards the interests of the refugees, and\u003c\/i\u003e Rights in Exile \u003ci\u003eis stronger as a result, their clear identification with their subjects having produced some fascinating interview material, which forms the bulk of the book.”\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003e• Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003ci\u003e“The greatest strength of\u003c\/i\u003e Rights in Exile \u003ci\u003eis clearly its combination of hard data accompanied by stinging critique…\u003c\/i\u003e Rights in Exile \u003ci\u003eshould be read by scholars, advocates and policy analysts for its revealing look at the unsettling shortcomings of refugee protection services and the real-life consequences of encampment in two African states.”\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003e• Journal of Refugee Law\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003ci\u003e“This book has a… disregard for orthodoxies and sacred cows.
