review: Editorial Reviews Review refuge makes some very importnant points on a hugely important topic. ts, Amherst, Journal of American Ethnic H Massachuset "Among other elements of autonomy and humanitarianism, the authors vigorously discuss the absolute necessity of jobs to create "a workable system that can sustainably offer sanctuary to the world's refugees." A vital contribution to a discussion that should be at the top of world leaders' agendas." -- Kirkus "In the end, what's more important - doing good, or the appearance of doing good? If we're as pure of heart as we like to imagine, we'll seek out the policy that saves the most people, full stop. And Refuge supplies an outstanding road map for getting us there."-- The National Post "Lost in the row over Europe's migration crisis in 2015 were the millions of refugees who stayed in the developing world, unwilling or unable to journey to richer countries. Growing up in a refugee camp often means little education and no work. Two experts at Oxford University present the first comprehensive attempt in years to rethink from first principles a system that has long been hidebound by hand-wringing and old ideas."-- The Economist About the Author Alexander Betts is the Leopold W.
