Synopsis
The camp of Denan in southeastern Ethiopia holds 10,000 people, officially Ethiopian but ethnically Somali. They are not classified as refugees. They are instead Internally Displaced Peoples, IDPs, and they live in squalor with virtually no aid, food or medicines, not even eligible to benefit from the UN refugee programs. Jarret Schecter emphasises the plight of Africa as a struggle with Western bureaucracy.
In the Ogaden region of southeastern Ethiopia there is a camp with approximately 10,000 people, officially Ethiopian but ethnically Somali. They live there in squalor, with virtually no nourishment or medicines, and with minimal shelter. According to the United Nations they are not refugees, and as such benefit even less from the marginal assistance that refugee programs can offer. Not classified as refugees, they are therefore Internally Displaced Peoples, or IDPs.
The number of IDPs worldwide is staggering, far greater than officially recognised refugees. They number near the equivalent of the population of Canada, for instance. Refugee programs do not reach them. Displaced in Denan is a record of the camp and the efforts of a small town in Connecticut, USA, to help the people there.
The tragedy of Africa is not just the corruption, the poverty, the wars, the civil wars, the droughts, the famine - as if they were not enough. It is also the profound inability of Western societies, desperate to help with or without their politicians, to understand the tribal, even nomadic, claims to the land. Logic and order, in the shape of international borders and agreements, do not hold sway there. Jarret Schecter's referential work on The Denan Project shows how individuals can overcome these bureaucracies, and how desperate the plight of IDPs are with official recognition even less than that of refugees.

Hardbound. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. First Edition. A NEAR FINE, bright, clean, tight, crisp, collector-worthy copy sans flecks. tears, stains, markings and discoloration. PROLIFICALLY ILLUSTRATED in full-page, full-color photography. "Statistics suggest that there are upwards of 25 million internally displaced people (IDP) in the world, of which the majority come from Africa. Significantly greater in number than refugees, IDP, as the term suggests, are homeless or displaced within their native country. Their internal displacement is most often the result of the recurring and complementary factors of warfare, ethnic violence and extreme poverty. Although the number of IDP approaches that of the population of Canada, a G-8 member and second largest country on the planet, relatively few in the developed world have ever even heard of the term IDP. The following is a story about Denan, and the 10,000 people who live in its IDP camp in southeastern Ethiopia." GJ1. Seller Inventory # 010320
