This paper presents a case study of self-settled Angolan refugees in Zambia, which illustrates how repatriation programmes based on a simplistic idea of refugees returning home are likely to prove ineffective and inefficient.
Description
By viewing repatriation as a form of migration, the study highlights the contrast between the discourse of external agencies, who perceive repatriation as a return to normality and an end to the refugee problem, and villagers, for whom crossborder migration is a normal part of life and a way to improve their livelihoods.
In the next section the paper turns to look at the nature of refugee problems and the rising star of repatriation as the ideal solution.
