Refugee and Host Community Relationships A case of Dukwi refugee settl

The plight of refugees from Southern Africäs wars of liberation made international headlines in the late 1970s to early 1990s. In this context, people from Angola, Namibia, South Africa and Zimbabwe crossed international borders to seek refuge outside their country of origin. Most of this displaced people settled in the frontline states including Botswana, Tanzania and Zambia. Dukwi in the north eastern part of Botswana has hosted refugees for almost four decades. Since its establishment, Dukwi refugee camp remains Botswanäs only place of refugee and asylum. This book aims to address a gap in knowledge about this important camp and about how refugee camps impact on host communities more generally.
