The Forced Burdens of Benevolence

In an era where forced displacement affects millions globally, the impact on host communities remains a critical yet understudied phenomenon. This groundbreaking research delves deep into the complex dynamics of evictee settlements in Narok County, Kenya, revealing the profound implications for host community security and resource management. Through rigorous analysis and comprehensive field research, this book uncovers how evictee settlements affect agricultural land, water resources, and community stability. Drawing on Social Conflict Theory and Human Security Framework, it presents compelling evidence of the 60% reduction in agricultural and pasture acreage land, alongside significant strains on infrastructure and environmental resources. This essential reading offers valuable insights for policymakers, researchers, and practitioners, presenting innovative approaches to protecting host community interests while addressing the humanitarian needs of evictees. With practical recommendations for government intervention and community engagement, this work provides a crucial roadmap for managing the delicate balance between forced benevolence and community security.
