The Crux of Refugee Resettlement: Rebuilding Social Networks (Crossing Borders in a Global World: Applying Anthropology to Migration, Displacement, and Social Change)
Description:While the world's refugee population reaches record high numbers, countries offering third-country resettlement are increasingly shifting towards policies of exclusion and austerity. Taking the moment's urgency as a starting point, this edited volume asks how we might envision a more humane future for refugee resettlement. While current resettlement policy tends to impose top-down solutions that favor bridging over bonding forms of capital, the volume's authors argue for a more holistic and ground-up understanding that highlights social networks generated from within refugee communities. Combining anthropology with a variety of professional perspectives (education, health care, clergy, administration, politics, and social work), each of the twelve chapters uses ethnography to demonstrate the efficacy of programs and interventions that create and nurture both bonding and bridging social capital in culturally-specific and accessible ways. From case studies of resettlement in the United States, England, Australia, and Canada, the authors maintain that social networks have an essential role - are the crux - in the reconfigurations of refugee well-being, belonging and place-making vis-�-vis the bureaucratic limitations of state and institutional factors. As such, they make a strong case that the resettlement process can be successful only if the rebuilding of social networks and social capitals is recognized, prioritized and actively supported by all stakeholders involved. With the goal of improving the resettlement experience, each chapter concludes with recommendations for future policies and interventions followed by commentaries written by refugees and service providers reflecting on the applicability and relevance of the conclusions drawn by the authors.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
