Rezensionen
"The diverse case studies, comprising both Abrahamic faiths and less familiar Eastern religious traditions, draw attention to the agency of forced migrants as they negotiate their experiences of exile. Both practitioners in the humanitarian field and students interested in religion and migration will be given much food for thought through the insights presented in this volume." (Tahir Zaman, Journal of Refugee Studies, Vo. 29 (3), September, 2016)
