註釋
This book is a combination of articles, testimonies, photographs and statistics that provide a vivid picture of the root cause of refugee movements and the refugee experience itself. After a short introduction by W. Shawcross describing his personal experiences with refugees, the book focuses on governments which turn against their people forcing them to flee. Interspersed with photographs are eye-witness accounts of the tyranny of terror and the memories of refugees of their homeland. Within this section, A. Neier outlines 'the scorched earth policy of the counterinsurgency strategy' and J. Laber analyses the situation in Eastern Europe and governments' decisions as to who can leave. There are also some general facts about 'the destruction of Central America' and a tally of conflict around the globe. Part two of the book focuses inside the world's refugee camps. In addition to photographs and testimonies from those inside the camps, there is factual information about refugee camps around the world, demographic information on refugees, and an article on refugee camps by M. Malloch Brown. The third Part of the book calls attention to the problem of placing refugees. Included are facts about 'xenophobia in the first world' and an article by B. Frelick concerning who controls who is allowed to enter a country. The end of the book contains a covenant on the rights of people in need of refuge.
