Reviews
“This well-written book contributes to the field of development and migration studies … . This book enthrals … all those who are interested in knowing more about the conditions of the victims of the Sri Lankan civil war … . this study will remain relevant for a long time to come as the concept of ‘home’ will continue to relate to their future development and should be understood and recognized by all who engage with them.” (Tridib Chakraborti, Journal of Refugee Studies, September 27, 2022)
