Escape from Violence cover

In this eloquent and comprehensive study, the authors examine the refugee phenomenon originating in Latin America, Africa, and Asia and suggest means by which the international community can assist those in greatest need.

'for years to come, serious refugee scholars will have to take note of, build upon, and react to this excellent book ... the book's underlying analytical framework on the patterns of social conflict is so sound that it is very valuable reading ... and excellent and valuable analytical treatment of the patterns of conflict and the causes of refugee movements ... Definitional difficulties and omissions are minor given the scale of their achievement. It should be required reading for all refugee scholars and students. It is in my classes.' Barry N. Stein, Michigan State University, Journal of Refugee Studies, Vol. 4, No. 3, 1991
