      abstract = {"This book provides insight into one of the world's  quietest human rights abuses. In the 1890's the government  of Bhutan allowed many ethnic Nepalese people into the  country to clear Bhutanese jungles in the south of the  country. Barely a century later, the Lhotshampa, meaning  people who lived in the South, constituted 45% of the  country's population. They lived as an agrarian community,  and their position as food suppliers for Bhutan helped them  to achieve educational, economic, and political success.  With this rise in prosperity, the Bhutenese Drukpa  government enacted a number of policies in the 1980s and  1990s designed to expel the Lhotshampa people. For over two  decades, more than 100,000 Lhotshampa lived in refugee  camps in Nepal, yet the global community remained largely  ignorant. The Lhotshampa demonstrated extraordinary  handling of adversity through spiritual meaning making, and  this book is a testimony to their survival and the  resilience that allowed them to build new lives against  heavy odds.
