The authors provide a very valuable addition to the growing literature on education in emergencies, with their emphasis on the education of the internally displaced. The chapters draw out the opportunities, constraints and approaches required for meeting the educational needs of IDPs, some of which have much in common with those applying to refugees and others affected by conflict, but many of which are particular to IDP situations. Several case studies illustrate well the main arguments.

A very useful multidisciplinary analysis of the barriers to education for internally displaced children, shedding light on issues and solutions in a number of different countries. This book is important for examining the high percentage of out-of-school children affected by conflict, who are all too often off-the-radar.
