"The contributors to this edited collection—scholars and practitioners with expertise in law, social science, and philosophy—provide a rich and varied overview and assessment of the success and sustainability of PRS. In 15 relatively short chapters, these authors tackle a number of topics: the legislative framework and historical trajectory of PRS; the relationship between private sponsors and government; the integration and relationship-building aspects of refugee sponsorship; and the risks and unintended consequences of resettlement, including ethical dilemmas that PRS creates with respect to broader/global refugee protection goals."
