We live in an age of displacement. Refugee numbers are increasing due to a proliferation of fragile states. And yet, rising populist nationalism has undermined the political willingness of rich countries to accept migrants and asylum seekers. Given these contradictory trends, how can we create sustainable refugee policies that enable displaced people to live in safety and dignity, while operating at scale? The Wealth of Refugees draws upon a decade of original qualitative and quantitative research to offer practical solutions.

The standard accounts of World War Two displacement focus on a handful of well-known episodes: the Holocaust, the German expulsions, the partition of India. This book tells the complete story—all the displaced peoples, in proportion to their actual numbers. What emerges is a radically different picture of the war's human cost: one dominated by China's 95 million displaced, the Soviet Union's massive internal evacuations, and colonial displacements across Africa and Southeast Asia that most Western histories ignore entirely. Across 25 chapters organized in six parts, this proportional ...

Natural disasters and the dire effects of climate change cause massive population displacements and lead to some of the most intractable political and humanitarian challenges seen today. Yet, as Maria Cristina Garcia observes in this critical history of U.S. policy on migration in the Global South, there is actually no such thing as a "climate refugee" under current U.S. law. Most initiatives intended to assist those who must migrate are flawed and ineffective from inception because they are derived from outmoded policies. In a world of climate change, U.S. refugee policy simply does not work.

A VERY LONG POEM is not a story in chapters. It is a quiet unfolding of memory, exile, silence, and the voice that endures when everything else is gone. Written in lyrical fragments, People Displaced, and All Else captures the raw intimacy of what it means to be unrooted—not just from land, but from self. This is a deeply personal poetic dialogue between what was lost and what remains, between the voice we silence and the one that refuses to leave. For those who have ever questioned where they belong, who they are, or whether their story is still their own—this book offers no answers. ...
