Om Belonging and Transnational Refugee Settlement
This book examines the implications of `belonging¿ in numerous places. It positions refugee settlement as an ongoing transnational experience and identifies the importance of multiple belongings through case studies conducted in Australia and New Zealand, as well as sites in the US, Canada and the UK. Demonstrating the interplay between everyday and extraordinary experiences and challenging the notion that meaningful settlement necessarily needs to occur in `local¿ places, the author focuses on the extraordinary events of trauma and disasters alongside the everyday lives of refugees undertaking settlement, to honour the complexities of working with the `trauma story¿ and see beyond it.
