What counts as persecution? How do applicants translate their stories of suffering and trauma into a narrative acceptable to the immigration officials? How can asylum officials weed out the fake from the genuine without resorting to inappropriate cultural definitions of behaviour? Using both in depth accounts by asylum applicants and interviews with lawyers and others involved, this book takes the reader on a journey through the process of applying for asylum in both the United States and Great Britain. It describes how the systems address the conflicting needs of the state to protect their citizens from terrorists and the influx of hordes of unwelcome economic migrants, while at the same time adhering to their legal, moral and treaty obligations to provide safe havenfor those fleeing persecution. 4aPolitical Refugees 4aPolitical Refugees-Government Policy  a10889/MKRI-P/XI-2008  a10890/MKRI-P/XI-2008  a10890/MKRI-P/XI-2008  a10889/MKRI-P/XI-2008  a10889/MKRI-P/XI-2008  a10890/MKRI-P/XI-2008
