520			_aThis book deals with the dynamic interactions between states and societies with respect to the displaced people of South Asia. Thirteen authors from different disciplinary backgrounds address various aspects of displacement, which, hitherto, have not received enough attention. Covering in their case studies groups of people originating from Afghanistan, Bangladesh, India, Myanmar, and Pakistan, who became displaced in the period between 1947 and 2002, the authors analyse matters of state as well as matters of society and the relation between the two. Two issues seem to have greatly informed and influenced displacement in South Asia, one is Partition and the other is the Non-signatory status of the South Asian states. Both single out the South Asian region as a separate and interesting case, particularly with respect to the issue as to how states provide security and/or contribute to insecurity. In various chapters the authors demonstrate that whereas movement of people can make them displaced populations, it can also help them in finding roots in the place where they seek refuge.
