A Bibliography on Refugees in Sub-Saharan Africa

The objective of the present bibliography is to bring together all known articles, books, theses, dissertations and conference papers in English and French on refugees in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), a region that has been the source, for sometime now, of a sizeable share of the world refugee population. Table 1 provides a summary of the main historical events of the refugee movements in Africa from the 1950s. Refugee research on SSA is undergoing changes in recent years. The past emphasis on sponsored studies is gradually giving way to independent social science research. This emerging orientation could only be sustained by parallel developments, particularly in methodology improvements, data collection and analysis, as well as, research tools such as bibliographies. This bibliography encompasses the following five broad fields of refugee studies: background information (e.g., history and bibliographies); flight (e.g., exodus and displacement); reception in host countries (e.g., emergency relief and refugee/host relationship); activities of international aid agencies and/or host governments, in particular the UNHCR; and durable solutions (e.g., settlement, resettlement, integration, voluntary repatriation and third country settlement).
