People on the Move Refugees and Asylum Seekers Paperback - Softcover

Most migration is a matter of push and pull, but this book is all about push - things are so bad for you that you will go anywhere to get away, often in the clothes you stand up in, taking only what you can carry. What could be so bad that you flee, leaving everything else behind?

Since the dawn of human evolution, humans have migrated across continents in search of food, shelter, safety and hospitable weather. This series explores the causes and effects of people migration and the issues surrounding it. What does it mean for the new host countries and the countries left behind? This series presents the facts but allows the readers to debate their views and form their own opinions. It includes case studies of historical and present-day examples. It features 'consider this' boxes to encourage thinking around connected issues such as human rights, racism and integration. It uses primary source materials to help bring the issues to life. It is packed with primary source materials and reconstruction artwork.
