Frontmatter -- Contents -- List of Maps, Figures, and Tables -- Preface -- Abbreviations -- Acknowledgments -- Credits -- Chapter 1: Introduction -- Chapter 2: Refugees and Rural Transformation -- Chapter 3: Migration and Agrarian Change on Border Lands -- Chapter 4: Integration and the Cultivation of a Hard Life -- Chapter 5: Resettlement and Positions of Poverty -- Chapter 6: Exile and the Perils of Pastoralism -- Chapter 7: Asylum and the Making of Home Terrain -- Chapter 8: Repatriation and the Search for Home -- Chapter 9: Concluding Reflections -- Bibliography -- Appendices -- Index
Summary: Refugee flight, settlement, and repatriation are not static, self-contained, or singular events. Instead, they are three stages of an ongoing process made and mirrored in the lives of real people. For that reason, there is an evident need for historical and longitudinal studies of refugee populations that rise above description and trace the process of social transformation during the "full circle" of flight resettlement, and return home. This book probes the economic forces and social processes responsible for shaping the everyday existence for refugees as they move through exile.
