Notă biografică
Rajith W. D. Lakshman is a Research Fellow at the Institute of Development Studies, UK, with over 15 years of experience in collaborative research on internally displaced persons (IDPs) and refugees. His work broadly focuses on the inter-section of gender, migration, wellbeing, and refugee studies. His more recent work examines the relationship between urbanization and forced displacement, specifically exploring the impact of IDP and refugee movements on host communities in the urban context. He has published widely on these topics and has served as a consultant to various national and international agencies. Rajith’s research sheds light on the importance of understanding the complexities of forced migration and the need for inclusive, community-led solutions.

Textul de pe ultima copertă
This book discusses the displacement of urban populations, inequality, and poverty in three cities in South Asia—Colombo, Jaffna in Sri Lanka, and Kochi in India. It focuses on the long-term effect resettlement and relocation has on the lives and livelihoods of urban internal displacement of populations (IDPs) primarily from urban poor classes. It also discusses the concerns faced by the displacement in post-war Sri Lanka. It examines the impacts of conflict on poverty and recovery in peri-urban settings. It emphasizes the role of agency of urban IDPs in strengthening their own well-being. It draws attention to how the agency of urban IDPs is compromised by the displacement processes and the weak local level governance structures in the cities. The book is intended for researchers, graduate students, and teachers of Geography, Social Policy, Refugees and Migration Studies, History, International Development, Urban Studies, and South Asian Studies.
