The story she tells is not only about the past but is vital for understanding responses to displacement today. -- ILANA FELDMAN, Professor of Anthropology, History, and International Affairs, George Washington University In this impassioned and important book, Laura Robson casts the modern system of international refugee relief - its origins, evolution, and current objectives - in a damning new light. A powerful, revelatory account of the strategies used by great powers to control and exploit refugees under the guise of humanitarian assistance. -- DANE KENNEDY, author of <i>The Imperial History Wars: Debating the British Empire</i> Author InformationLaura Robson is the Oliver-McCourtney Professor of History at Penn State University and a recent Fellow at the Wilson Center in Washington, D.C.
