Drawing on a range of disciplines, including sociology, anthropology, law, architecture, and history, each of the chapters describes a particular shelter and uses this to open up theoretical reflections on the relationship between architecture, place, politics, design and displacement"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p> Questioning what shelter is and how we can define it, this volume brings together essays on different forms of refugee shelter, with a view to widening public understanding about the lives of forced migrants and developing theoretical understanding of this oft-neglected facet of the refugee experience.

This volume fills that important gap in an admirable manner."</em> <strong>- Jeff Crisp</strong>, University of Oxford</p> <p> <em>"This is a very good collection that is engaging, clear in its focus, and wide-ranging in the cases and examples it covers. The broad and inclusive category of 'shelter' is applied well to pull together the various contributions and offers a novel way of examining questions of protection, displacement, and accommodation."</em> <strong>- Jonathan Darling</strong>, Durham University</p><br>
