Keywords: Globalization, Migration, Integration, Displacement, Conflict, Geopolitics, International Response, Local Action, Minority, Psychology, Trauma

This book will interest both academics and practitioners. For practitioners and community organizers, the practical lessons in the book will provide a point of reference in the often ambiguous work of resettling refugees. Regarding academics, this book will make an excellent reader for migration studies, area studies, sociology, education, political science and psychology. We believe that this book would be best suited for the graduate level because the student would benefit from having a pre-existing schema. Also, students on study abroad or internships involving refugees would greatly benefit from this book.
