Review: "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 the return homeSummary: This book probes the economic forces and social processes responsible for shaping the everyday existence for refugees as they move through exile."--Jacket
