- Summary
- "Based on Roberta Cohen and Francis M.
- Deng's work, Masses in Flight: The Global Crisis of Internal Displacement (Brookings, 1998), this book offers, in summary and less technical form, the essential findings of that in-depth study: who and where the internally displaced are and what is being done for them, and how the international community can better organize itself to deal with not only a humanitarian challenge but also a threat to the security, stability, and economic well-being of nations on all continents. And Exodus within Borders offers one other important dimension.
- Through powerful photographs, it shows just what it can mean to be driven from one's home with no clothes, no food, and no sure place of refuge."--BOOK JACKET.
