The Global Refugee Crisis: Fleeing Conflict and Violence

The Global Refugee Crisis examines people fleeing violence and persecution, including a 2015 UN tally of more than one million people, over half of them children. It connects displacement to conflict in Syria, the Central African Republic, Somalia, Yemen, Afghanistan, and Nigeria. The book considers how countries respond, how refugees can contribute to and strain communities, and possible solutions. Specific examples, archival photographs, and extensive back matter are included.
