VDM Terbeck, H: Integration of Refugees in Urban Settings ofDeve

Cairo hosts tens of thousands of refugees from all over Africa. Many of them make their way to the mega-city in hope for resettlement in a western country. Although Ethiopians and Eritreans are one of the largest groups among these migrants, they are hardly researched. The author Hanno Terbeck spent six months in the Egyptian capital to study their level of integration into Cairene society. By using a mix of quantitative empirical as well as qualitative research methods, he identifies three sets of factors that have a big impact on the refugees' successful integration: the Ethiopians' and Eritreans' legal status including their treatment by the Egyptian authorities, the refugees' position towards their integration, and the Egyptians' perceptions of the Ethiopians and Eritreans living in Cairo. This book addresses policy makers and researchers who want to learn more about Ethiopian and Eritrean migrants in Egypt, as well as everyone else who is interested in refugee integration in urban centers of developing countries.
