Forced Migration in Eastern Africa: Democratization, Structural Adjustment, and Refugees - Paperback

by C. Veney (Author)

This study enriches understanding of East Africa's refugee situation by examining the conditions that gave rise to it and how the refugees themselves sought to reconstruct their lives. Focusing on the 1990s, Veney compares Kenya and Tanzania, two nations that did not generate many refugees, but become important hosts for the general region.
