Description
The Global Refugee Crisis conjures images of people in transit, suffering untold deprivations. Behind these images lies a second crisis: the crisis of refugees who have fled their homes and are stuck for decades in dehumanizing conditions. Refugees face bleak options - urban slums, squalid camps, or perilous journeys to seek asylum. Ninety-nine percent are never resettled in other countries, and their suffering begins when they leave their war-torn homes. Political philosopher Serena Parekh argues that these crises demand a moral response, one that assumes the humanity of refugees alongside the challenges faced by states accepting them. Parekh draws on extensive first-hand accounts to make the case for a more compassionate approach to refugee crises, one that prioritizes human dignity in the face of overwhelming hardship.
