Recognizing the need for further volumes to address this complex region, this particular volume focuses on the diverse needs of refugees for reconciliation with themselves and others. The individual facets of this reconciliation include feelings of sadness and guilt for leaving home and loved ones behind, traumatic experiences during their escape, conflicts with fellow refugees and local communities, the loss of a significant part of what once gave life meaning and purpose, and the challenges of returning to a changed country, a home that may no longer feel like home.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book presents a comprehensive overview of the activities undertaken by various organizations, including the United Nations, international refugee organizations, government agencies, municipalities, non-governmental organizations, religious and humanitarian groups. Numerous researchers from the countries of the MENA region contribute their insights, sharing both successful initiatives and the difficulties encountered by numerous societies in maintaining a hospitable attitude towards refugees.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSimilar to Germany, the book also observes descending curves of acceptance for countries such as Jordan, Turkey, and Lebanon. However, it also highlights the significant challenges these countries face due to the influx of refugees and the efforts they have made to address the situation. The volume includes contributions from authors from Morocco, Libya, Egypt, the Palestinian territories, Jordan, Lebanon, and Turkey, as well as perspectives from German, Greek, Italian, and American scholars.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough its comprehensive coverage, the book paints a vivid picture of a region ravaged by wars and conflicts, but it also showcases initiatives and approaches towards reconciliation. It serves as a valuable resource for policymakers, researchers, and individuals interested in understanding the complexities of the refugee crisis and the efforts being made to address it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 237 x 160 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9783525568569\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44097279754490,"sku":"9783525568569","price":99.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/noImage_1_8112aa07-c2e2-4d7c-9a19-2a4872742a4c.jpg?v=1649010521","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/reconciliation-and-refugees-the-academic-alliance-for-reconciliation-studies-in-the-middle-east-and-north-africa-i-9783525568569","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
