The only edited volume to date to focus specifically on forced sea migrations and their memorializations.
Covers a wide international (geographic) berth in terms of case studies, and therefore has international appeal.
An excellent example of engaged social sciences regarding current and past migrations by boat.
Considers a wide range of perspectives from those of policy-makers to "smugglers," and from members of host countries to refugees undertaking these dangerous journeys.
