Description: "The world is currently going through an unprecedented era of migration, with tens of milliions of people moving to new cities, countries and continents every year. But though the decision to move can be driven by the search for opportunities and a better life, in many cases violence, persecution and other human rights abuses are the primary cause of migration. This is especially the case for minorities and indigenous peoples, who in the context of widespread discrimination can face a distinct experience of migration where their own agency is severely curtailed - one often characterized by further discrimination as entrenched patterns of exclusion are replicated elsewhere. This report ... focuses specifically on the situation of minorities and indigenous peoples subjected to this form of forced migration, including its causes, impacts and potential solutions."--Back cover.
