Through these interviews, Billson paints a complex picture of creating a new life in a new land, highlighting the agonies of losing one's home and leaving loved ones behind, as well as the dangers of escaping into unknown territory. She argues that refugees and refugee agencies bring powerful ideas for revamping an overwhelmed global system that freezes victims of persecution in years of political and emotional limbo. Billson examines how shrinking refugee flows by addressing root causes of displacement is critical, but so is speeding up selection processes to reduce despair and lost years. She further posits that drastically limiting time in refugee camps would prevent counterproductive education and work gaps and that reducing language barriers to employment ensures well-being and successful integration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 748g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 236 x 160 x 29 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781793606570\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Janet Mancini Billson","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":47481958924538,"sku":"9781793606570","price":117.81,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/files\/1751652505823_book.jpg?v=1751752029","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/refugee-pathways-to-freedom-escaping-persecution-and-statelessness-9781793606570","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
