"Overall, due to its inter-disciplinarity, Gender in Refugee Law is
very accessible to a diverse readership. As the book discusses past
developments as well as the current state of gender in refugee law,
it is very informative for people new to, as well as those already
familiar with, the topic". - Hannah Baumeister, Aberystwyth
University for International Journal of Refugee Law (2014, Vol. 26,
No. 4, 716–729)"In order to dissolve the aforementioned dichotomy
underlying the mainstream discourse about refugees, the ‘refugee
producing countries’ must be given a voice in future studies,
academic publications and advocacy situations. Gender in Refugee
Law constitutes a milestone in this process, as it paves the way to
further advances in refugee law – such as a study examining on the
one hand how refugees find out about the asylum claim process, and
on the other how governments and society view refugees (pp. 171-2).
For this reason, scholars in anthropology and other social
sciences, whose work is critical in the investigation of this
issue, would find this book of particular interest in their
endeavours. It not only shows how gender has been pushed from the
centre to the margins of refugee law, but more importantly, it
successfully proves the urgency of bringing it back to its former
place." - Gabriela Rădulescu, Allegra Lab: Anthropology, Law, Art &
World
