Involuntary Migration and Resettlement: The Problems and Responses of Dislocated People

edited by Art Hansen and Anthony Oliver-Smith

Involuntary migration occurs when there has been, or will be, a catastrophic change in people's environment and they have little or no choice but to relocate. Causes range from natural disasters to sociopolitical upheaval (war, revolution, pogrom) and even to planned changes (dams, atomic experimentation, urban renewal). Although there are excellent studies of specific instances of forced migration, this book is the first to address the broad scope of issues and the wide variety of contexts in which migration and resettlement schemes have occurred. The authors investigate the responses of dislocated people facing dislocation and resettlement and ask specifically: What are the common stresses of dislocation and resettlement? What are the patterns of individual and group reactions and strategies as people respond to the stresses and opportunities of relocation? What significant similarities and differences exist among situations of involuntary migration and how do these pressures relate to those faced by people who move voluntarily?

Introduction Involuntary Migration and Resettlement: Causes and Contexts

Anthony Oliver-Smith Art Hansen

This volume results from our common interest in the problems of dislocated peoples and our commitment to a comparative case study approach. We are social anthropologists who have lived among and observed the resettlement of dislocated peoples. Art Hansen has worked with rural refugees from an African war and spent some months studying Cuban refugees in the U.S.A.; Anthony Oliver-Smith has worked with victims of a disastrous South American earthquake and avalanche that obliterated the town where his informants used to live. Both the refugees and the avalanche victims had experienced uprooting and relocation and were coping with the consequent stresses and the need to adapt to new or radically changed environments. In extended conversations between us, with other faculty members, and with graduate students, all began to appreciate the extent to which the data and conclusions of each person's research complemented and enriched those of the others. Although the places and peoples were geographically and culturally distinct and the sociopolitical environments and causes of dislocation were dissimilar, there emerged a number of common concerns and processes.

In order to explore the emergent similarities in more depth and with broader ethnographic coverage, we organized a symposium on the topic of "Involuntary Migration and Resettlement: The Problems and Responses of Dislocated Peoples" for the 1976 annual meeting of the American Anthropological Association in Washington, D.C. Six case studies about people in East and South Africa, the Andes, and the southwestern U.S.A. examined specific instances of dislocation as the result of sociopolitical upheavals, natural disasters, or planned removals. Four discussants (Elizabeth Colson, Thayer Seudder, David Maybury-Lewis, and Michael Horowitz) analyzed the cases that were presented and compared them with their own research.
