Recommendations from Jeff Crisp:
The Accidental City: Violence, Economy and Humanitarianism in Kakuma Refugee Camp Kenya, Dissertation submitted to Disaster Studies (Wageningen University, 2011) [info]
- "My book of the year award goes to Bram Jansen's 'The Accidental City: Violence, Economy and Humanitarianism in Kakuma Refugee Camp, Kenya'. While much has been written about Kakuma, this is by far the most fascinating, informative and readable account of life in the camp, illuminating a wide range of policy and operational issues that are of direct interest to the refugee studies and humanitarian communities." (Note: Happily, the full-text will become available via the a/m link in April 2012!)
"The Ethiopian Refugees in Kenya," Journal of the Royal African Society, vol. 38, no. 152 (July 1939) [info]
- "Insecurity, epidemics, environmental degradation, blockages in the food pipeline... . Just a few of the problems that have arisen in recent months in Kenya's Dadaab refugee camp. But there is nothing new about these issues. This fascinating article, published in the Journal of the Royal African Society in 1939, examines the humanitarian response to an influx of Ethiopian refugees in Kenya, back in the days when the territory was still a British colony." (Note: This journal is available via these libraries.)
