“...telling the story [of German unification] primarily from the French perspective provides a more detached yet highly informed account of the diplomacy.” Foreign Affairs

“...a compelling collection of testimonies, dialogues, research and experiences with displaced women in a diversity of locales and from a diversity of angles… This volume should stimulate research at the graduate level and also motivate further collaborative inter-disciplinary research to feed into policy analysis and policy making. Therefore, it will be of interest to a wide audience of scholars, students, policy makers, advocates and service providers interested in new developments and critical practices in a wide range of domains related to gender and forced migrations. ” Journal of Refugee Studies

“The book as a whole offers an array of difficult topics: the way women’s identities are shaped and reshaped by the complicated experiences of refugeeism; global sex trade and sex trafficking of Eastern European women; connections between war and homelessness...a valuable text that is bound to challenge students and teachers alike, in both our methodologies and our personal desires for an easy consumption of knowledge about the world and ourselves.”   Women's Review of Books
