About the Book

Published in 1998. This title brings together 18 essays by a selection of experts in the area of refugee and asylum law and policy. Each essay examines an issue of contemporary interest to those working in the refugee field in the UK. They have been selected from papers presented at a highly successful conference on Refugee Rights and Realities which was held at the University of Nottingham in November 1996, organized by the Human Rights Law Centre at the University and funded by the Airey Neave Trust. The essays are organised into two sections. The first covers issues of legal process and policy ranging from the development of asylum law and policy in the UK to the country’s obligations under international law. Special emphasis is placed on the most recent developments surrounding the 1996 Asylum and Immigration Act. The second section provides the context for a more detailed examination of the social, health and welfare issues relevant to refugees and asylum seekers. These range from access to health care, housing rights and the education of refugees in London to questions of language and of race relations.

Review :
’...this book is to be commended. The focus of the debate may have shifted, but this book covers nearly all the issues currently arising in discussions about the asylum and immigration bill.’ Journal of Refugee Studies ’In the rapidly emerging specialist literature on asylum law, the present study...will have a well-deserved place and should be treated as required reading for specialists in the field.’ Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Law ’...clear and concise and useful to both professionals and activists in the field.’ Sage Race Relations Abstracts
