Protection Amid Chaos follows Palestinians living in refugee camps in Lebanon and Jordan as they develop binding claims on assets and resources in challenging spaces. Nadya Hajj shows how they adapt flexible though legitimate property rights claims based on legal knowledge retained from their homeland to the restrictions of refugee life.
Nadya Hajj is an assistant professor of political science at Wellesley College.
