Why read it?
1 author picked Fear in Bongoland as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book is one of the first full-length books devoted to the specific topic of urban refugees. It was published in 2001, years before the pronouncement that most refugees live in towns and cities.
The book provides an intimate and detailed account of the promises and hardships refugees face in cities–in this case, Dar es Salaam in Tanzania.
An engrossing and accessible ethnography, the book shows the way that a variety of factors–age, religion, language, memory–intersect to shape refugees’ experiences in urban space.
From Neil's list on urban refugees.
