There are 40 million IDP worldwide; of these, an estimated 12.6 million are in 37 of Africa's 55 countries. Written by a team of fifteen scholars across four continents, this book uses both quantitative and qualitative data to analyze the causes and consequences of this displacement, the role of the state in creating and mitigating these situations, and potential policy solutions. The volume is divided into three sections. Chapters in Section 1 discuss the causes of displacement. Chapters in Section 2 discuss refugees in their regional context. Chapters in Section 3 discuss IDP camps in Kenya, Nigeria, and Ghana. Bringing scholarly analysis to address two humanitarian crises, this book will be useful to students and researchers interested in African politics, forced migration, and policy as well as members of the diplomatic corps, governmental, and non-governmental organizations actively working towards solving these challenges. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references. 505 0 $a Introduction -- Chapter 1: Refugees and the Internally Displaced Persons in African -- Chapter 2: The Spatial Distribution of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in Africa -- Chapter 3: African Migrants and Refugees in Latin America and the Caribbean -- Chapter 4: State Sovereignty-Non-Refoulement Nexus: Towards Sustainable Legal and Political Refugee Regime in Kenya -- Chapter 5: Refugees, Religion, and Resilience in Sub-Saharan Africa -- Chapter 6: Skilled female new Canadians and mental-health challenges: Effect of unemployment and underemployment -- Chapter 7: From the Margin to the Mainstream: Dealing with the Scourge of Transit Migrants in Morocco -- Chapter 8: IDPs of Boko Haram War, Emergency Rehabilitation and Human Rights Practice in Nigeria -- Chapter 9: Tenuous Refuge: Probing Links Between (Il)Legality Of Urban Refugees in Kenya, Refugee Supports, And Host Country Integration -- Chapter 10: Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in African Migrant/Refugee Population -- Chapter 11: Disparities Between Messages Heard at Home and Messages Sent out by African Refugees in LAC "Safe Haven" Countries. 650 0 $a Internally displaced persons $z Africa. 650 0 $a Refugees $z Africa. 651 0 $a Africa $x Government policy. $x Government policy. 651 0 $a Africa $x Politics and government $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Political planning. 650 7 $a Emigration and immigration $x Government policy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00908700 650 7 $a Internally displaced persons. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01739001 650 7 $a Political planning. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01069460 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 650 7 $a Refugees. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01092797 651 7 $a Africa. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01239509 648 7 $a 2000-2099 $2 fast 700 1 $a Abidde, Sabella Ogbobode, $d 1962- $e editor. 776 08 $z 9783030566500 $i e-book version 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220526014501.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B01C577ACF3111EB9A1890BA3BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
