Long the destination for uprooted peoples in the broader Middle East, Jordan’s complex history of accommodating refugees regularly requires scholarly attention. Initially a dumping ground for Britain’s Palestinian victims and later for refugees from Iraq to Syria and beyond, Jordan today hosts upwards of three million refugees. It is from this dynamic setting of accommodation and the resulting political crises that this excellent volume intervenes. With multiple contributors casting a long historic light on the capacities of the state to manage each wave of refugees, the resulting exposé of policies expands readers' understanding of the complexities of constant adjustment. The important findings from this volume take place over three sections. The first includes contributions on how Jordanian officials work with international organizations to assimilate large numbers of refugees into the country’s exploitative labor markets and the more difficult task of shaping how refugees fend for themselves during long periods of funding scarcity. The final two sections reflect on the resulting attempts by various groups of refugees to organize their lives in camps and new neighborhoods of cities by way of solidarity communities, providing valuable insights for readers to better understand the modern Middle East more generally. Summing Up: Recommended. Lower-division undergraduates through faculty; professionals.
