Titelbeschreibung

For the last two decades, refugees, like other immigrants, have been settling in newer locations throughout the US and other countries. No longer are refugees to be found only in major metropolitan areas and gateway cities; instead, they are arriving in small towns, rural areas, rustbelt cities, and suburbs. What happens to them in these new destinations and what happens to the places that receive them? Drawing on a decade’s worth of interviews, surveys, spatial analysis and community-based projects with key informants, Dr Pablo Bose argues that the value of refugee newcomers to their new homes cannot be underestimated.

Sonderbeitrag

Offers fresh perspectives on contemporary global migration policies and practices and how they play out at the local level Uniquely explores the lives of refugees in a region marked not by long histories of immigrant settlement (as in traditional destinations like New York, Chicago or San Francisco), but in a place undergoing significant demographic and cultural change Draws on extensive qualitative research with refugees, advocacy organizations, local and state officials, and various other stakeholder groups in order to understand not only the politics and history of resettlement, but also the lived realities of daily existence
