Rezensionen

"Zaman makes an important contribution to understandings of the refugee experience in the Muslim world, as well as the interaction between religion, the agency of the refugee, and the humanitarian aid regime. ... I strongly recommend this book to anyone interested in notions of humanitarianism, traditions of refuge and sanctuary in Islam, as well Iraqi forced migration post the 2003 Anglo-American invasion of Iraq." (Dawn Chatty, Journal of Islamic Studies, Vol. 28 (3), September, 2017)
