- Asquith’s book examines how genocide survivors rebuild their lives following migration after genocide and is one of the first of its kind to examine the dual impact of both genocide and forced migration upon survivors. Drawing on a mixture of in-depth interviews and published testimony, it utilises Bourdieu’s concept of social capital to highlight how survivors reconstruct their lives in a new country. Asquith undertook in-depth interviews with survivors from the Rwandan and Bosnian genocides, and the Holocaust and this combination of data allows for a broader, more nuanced analysis of the challenges related to migration and recovery from genocide.
