Refugees and Homelands - Library Binding

by Louise A. Spilsbury (Author)

Throughout history, people have been forced to flee their homelands for many different reasons. These people have gone to new lands in the hope of a better life or for protection. In this historical look at refugees, readers will discover some of the many reasons why people leave their homes to go to a new land. With examples such as the Huguenots and World War refugees, readers will learn the history of refugees before looking at modern day examples. Readers will then learn about the many civil rights leaders who worked and are working to protect refugees.
