Description for Refugee Community Organisations and Dispersal
Paperback. Despite increased political and public interest in asylum issues in the UK, little has been written on the topic. This book, written by leading experts in the field, is the first to examine the role of refugee community organisations (RCOs) at a critical point of policy change. Num Pages: 256 pages. BIC Classification: JFFD. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 15. Weight in Grams: 386.
The book is distinctive in combining theoretical discussion on the role of networks, resources and social capital with fieldwork evidence and interviews with members of RCOs, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and statutory authorities. It critically examines the impact of dispersal and current legislative change on refugee communities and RCOs; explores the integrative role of RCOs; assesses the race relations framework in Britain and its effects on refugee organisations and provides a thorough and up-to-date literature review. Refugee community organisations and dispersal is essential reading for practitioners and policy makers, academics, researchers and students of social policy, social geography, sociology and politics. ...

Reviews for Refugee Community Organisations and Dispersal
"This excellent book will be an invaluable resource for practitioners, and academics. I would expect it to become a standard text in the same way as earlier work by Carey-Wood and Robinson." Liza Schuster, Centre for Migration, Policy and Society (COMPAS), Oxford University, UK
