ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
This book has evolved out of six years of research by the International Refugee Rights Initiative. As a result, current and former colleagues have played an invaluable role throughout, and I owe them an enormous debt of gratitude. Specifically, Olivia Bueno has worked closely on the project from its inception and has been a tireless and constructive critic, and Deirdre Clancy has offered invaluable guidance and inspiration, not least on the legal aspects of the project. Suffice to say, all mistakes (legal or otherwise) remain my own. Josh DeWind of the Migration Program of the Social Science Research Council was instrumental in helping to initiate the project and subsequently giving the benefit of his wisdom. I am also grateful to Zachary Lomo who not only acted as an adviser to the project but also shaped many of my ideas during my time at the Refugee Law Project (RLP) in Kampala, Uganda, where he was director. Indeed, my eight years at the RLP was an invaluable learning experience, and I am thankful to all of my former colleagues there. I am also indebted to the many individual researchers with whom I have worked, including Dr Opportuna Kweka of the University of Dar es Salaam, Theodore Mbazumutima of Rema Ministries, Moses Chrispus Okello of the RLP, Joseph Okumu of the Makerere Institute for Social Research,
