Media Reviews
... a welcome addition to this growing body of research. Indeed, it underscores the reality that refugee populations are diverse in nature, that strategies for return are often informal, though not always unrelated to formal repatriation schemes, and that issues of economic viability, as often as security - though these are also related - influence refugee decisions about repatriation. - Robert F. Gorman in AFRICAN AFFAIRS La grande force des auteurs est que ce sont des praticiens de terrain, nourrissant leurs textes d'une infinite d'informations ou de renseignements introuvables dans d'autres ouvrages. - Rene Pelissier in REVUE FRANCAISE D'HISTOIRE D'OUTRE-MER
