{"product_id":"displacement-economies-in-africa-amanda-hammar-9781780324883","title":"Displacement Economies in Africa: Paradoxes of Crisis and Creativity","description":"\u003cp\u003eLarge-scale displacement - whether caused by war, state-related political or development projects, different forms of political violence, structural crisis, or even natural disasters - evokes many stereotyped assumptions about those forcibly displaced or emplaced. At the same time there is a problematic lack of attention paid to the diversity of actors, strategies and practices that reshape the world in the face (and chronic aftermath) of dramatic moments of violent dislocation. In this highly original volume, based on empirical case studies from across sub-Saharan Africa, the authors reveal the paradoxical effects, both intended and unexpected, that displacement produces, and that manifest themselves in displacement economies. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAn important contribution to a topic of growing scholarly and policy interest.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Amanda Hammar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 178032488X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781780324883\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Zed Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/08\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2015 pg. 1026","brand":"Amanda Hammar","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48442564083967,"sku":"9781780324883","price":37.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d5967441-f504-4c09-b6ad-e51a89d796de.jpg?v=1777198238","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/displacement-economies-in-africa-amanda-hammar-9781780324883","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
