Forced to flee : human rights and human wrongs in refugee homelands
"Peter W. Van Arsdale presents firsthand fieldwork conducted during a thirty-year span in six refugee homelands ranging from Sudan to Bosnia. This expert research bridges the emergent refugee and human rights regimes, while addressing theories of obligation, justice, and structural violence. Van Arsdale also tackles the difficult ideas of compassion, suffering, and evil and introduces the concept of "pragmatic humanitarianism." Forced to Flee is a comprehensive study that should be of great interest to scholars and practitioners of anthropology, sociology, social work, political science, and environmental studies."--Jacket
