- This book is based on multi-sited fieldwork in West Africa from 2008 to 2013, including my living inside a refugee camp for over 10 months. I also ‘followed’ returning refugees from Ghana to Liberia to study their post-repatriation life. Furthermore, between 2012 and 2013, I conducted follow-up research with refugees still living in Ghana. The book has drawn on the collection of primary qualitative and quantitative data, including over 400 interviews. This lengthy research process has not only produced in-depth understanding of refugees’ lives but also enabled the inclusion of refugees’ own perspectives and voices in my work.
