Mistrusting Refugees

E. Valentine Daniel is author of Fluid Signs (California, 1984), coeditor of Culture/Contexture (California, 1995), and Professor of Anthropology at the University of Michigan. John Chr. Knudsen is Professor of Anthropology at the University of Bergen. "A welcome contribution to the literature on refugees and refugee experience. It brings a refreshingly broad range of interpretive strategies and data to bear on the problem of how humanitarian agencies, intellectuals, and political activists might best understand the conflictive experiences of refugees."—Deborah A. Poole, New School for Social Research "A momentous effort in the elaboration of a meaningful discourse on the issue of refugees."—Jean-Paul Dumont, George Mason University Zusammenfassung The 20th century has seen people displaced on an unprecedented scale and has brought concerns about refugees into sharp focus. These essays maintain a balance between providing specific details of the refugee experience and exploring corresponding theories of trust and mistrust. CONTRIBUTORS : T. Alexander Aleinikoff E.
