“While there has been an exponential growth in the literature on refugees and forced migration over the past decade, the issue of shelter has received very little attention. This volume fills that important gap in an admirable manner.” • Jeff Crisp, University of Oxford“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.” • Jonathan Darling, Durham University
