“These contributions provide an excellent snapshot of current debates on Jordanian and Lebanese responses to the Syrian refugee crisis, characterized by attention to a careful collection of primary sources within the context of a transdisciplinary approach. The careful selection of scholars that share an intimate understanding of displacement in the Levant leads to a volume that is, at once, refreshingly contemporary in its engaged coverage … . Beaujouan and Rasheed offer a valuable, context-driven analysis … .” (Gerasimos Tsourapas, Bustan The Middle East Book Review, Vol. 12 (1), 2021)
