Beskrivning

This book examines how genocide survivors rebuild their lives following migration after genocide. The data comprises in-depth interviews with survivors of the Rwandan and Bosnian genocides, and the Holocaust. The life of survivors in the wake of genocides is a neglected field, particularly in the context of migration and resettlement.
