No Path Home describes its symptoms in detail. Elizabeth Cullen Dunn shows how war creates a deeply damaged world in which the structures that allow people to occupy social roles, constitute economic value, preserve bodily integrity, and engage in meaningful daily practice have been blown apart. After the Georgian war with Russia in 2008, Dunn spent sixteen months immersed in the everyday lives of the 28,000 people placed in thirty-six resettlement camps by official and nongovernmental organizations acting in concert with the Georgian government. She reached the conclusion that the humanitarian condition poses a survival problem that is not only biological but also existential. In No Path Home, she paints a moving picture of the ways in which humanitarianism leaves displaced people in limbo, neither in a state of emergency nor able to act as normal citizens in the country where they reside"-- |cPublisher's Web site. 591 Record updated by Marcive processing 21 June 2024 650 0 Internally displaced persons |zGeorgia (Republic) 650 0 Refugee camps |zGeorgia (Republic) 650 0 Humanitarian assistance |zGeorgia (Republic) 650 0 South Ossetia War, 2008 |xRefugees. 611 27 South Ossetia War (2008) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01755674 650 7 Humanitarian assistance. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00963553 650 7 Internally displaced persons. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01739001 650 7 Refugee camps. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01092775 650 7 Refugees. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01092797 651 7 Georgia (Republic) |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01221658 648 7 2008 |2fast 776 08 |iOnline version:Dunn, Elizabeth C., 1968- |tNo path home. |dIthaca : Cornell University Press, 2017 |z9781501712500 |w(DLC) 2017027518 852 0 |bstacks |hHV640.4.G28 |iD86 2017
