      abstract = {This book discusses the phenomena of refugees and  internally displaced persons (IDP) across several African  countries. There are 40 million IDP worldwide; of these, an  estimated 12.6 million are in 37 of Africa's 55 countries.  Written by a team of fifteen scholars across four  continents, this book uses both quantitative and  qualitative data to analyze the causes and consequences of  this displacement, the role of the state in creating and  mitigating these situations, and potential policy  solutions. The volume is divided into three sections.  Chapters in Section 1 discuss the causes of displacement.  Chapters in Section 2 discuss refugees in their regional  context. Chapters in Section 3 discuss IDP camps in Kenya,  Nigeria, and Ghana. Bringing scholarly analysis to address  two humanitarian crises, this book will be useful to  students and researchers interested in African politics,  forced migration, and policy as well as members of the  diplomatic corps, governmental, and non-governmental  organizations actively working towards solving these  challenges.},
