This work presents a systematic investigation of refugees' loss of their old identities and their efforts to construct new ones. It examines the interplay between cultural, ethnic and gender constructions among resettled refugee populations.
Reconstructing Lives, Recapturing Meaning presents the first systematic investigation of refugees'' loss of their old identities and their efforts to construct new ones. Edited by the Chair and Vice Chair of the Committee on Refugee Issues (CORI) of the American Anthropological Association, it critically examines the interplay between cultural, ethnic, and gender constructions among resettled refugee populations. Each chapter is grounded in anthropological theory and method, and the book''s framework demonstrates the relationship between the dynamics of forced migration and the ways in which ethnic and gender identities are reinvented in new socio-cultural settings. Unanimous in their perception of boundary maintenance as central to identity formation, these essays allow readers to view refugee resettlement as a creative, experimental process.
