- More about Send Them Here: Religion, Politics, and Refugee Resettlement in North America
The United States and Canada have historically accepted approximately three-quarters of resettled refugees, leading the world in this key aspect of global refugee protection. Religious groups played a significant role in advocating for refugees after the Second World War, leading to the development of resettlement programs in both countries. Geoffrey Cameron's book Send Them Here explores the genesis and development of refugee resettlement policy in North America, highlighting the role of faith-based organizations.

The United States and Canada have a long history of accepting refugees, with approximately three-quarters of resettled refugees coming from these two countries. This leadership in global refugee protection has been attributed to Cold War foreign policy, but there was also a significant domestic force that propelled the rise of resettlement: religious groups. In Send Them Here, Geoffrey Cameron explores the genesis and development of refugee resettlement policy in North America through the lens of the essential role played by faith-based organizations. Catholic, Protestant, and Jewish groups led advocacy efforts for refugees after the Second World War, and they cooperated with each other and their respective governments to implement the first formal resettlement programs. These policy frameworks laid the foundation for diverging policy trajectories in each country, leading ultimately to private sponsorship in Canada and the voluntary agency program in the United States. Religious groups remain embedded in the world's most successful refugee resettlement programs. Send Them Here draws on a rich archival record and extensive comparative research to contribute new insights to the history of refugee policy, human rights, and the role of religion in modern policymaking and global humanitarian efforts.
