Now reissued with a new Preface by Robin Cohen and Dani le Joly this book was originally published in 1989 at a time when the reality of a single European Community had begun to materialize the comfortable belief that many European countries offered havens for those fleeing persecution. This belief was undermined as governments sought to cope with xenophobic and racist sentiments by their indigenous populations. This book, with contributions from social scientists, policy-makers and representatives from many European countries discusses the response of European governments to the increasing demands by asylum-seekers, refugees and exiles for admission, settlement and protection: issues which remain as pertinent today as when the book was originally published.

Industry Reviews

'The result of one of the series of excellent conferences organised by the Centre for Research in Ethnic Relations at Warwick. Its appearance is timely ... a valuable source of material on a relatively neglected topic'. Zig Layton-Henry Ethnic & Racial Studies, 14 (3) 199

'[The book] adds up to a substantial body of factual material documenting the refugee 'crisis' that has developed during the 1980s. It can therefore be viewed as a useful reference for those seeking an overview of the evolution of this crisis'. Robert Miles Critical Social Policy, 11 (31) 1991.

'The numerous case studies are rich in data and provide some interesting theoretical insights. Naturally, such a large and diverse collection makes the formulation of a grand theory of refugee experiences a difficult task, though those who may wish to do so in the future will find the book very useful'. Y Shain International Migration, 28 (3) 1990
