This book examines the agreements and discrepancies between public
understanding and assumptions about refugees, and the actual
beliefs and practices among the refugees themselves in a time of
increasing mobility fuelled by what many call 'refugee crisis'.
With a focus on language and literacy practices among
recently-arrived Karenni refugee families in the United States,
this book explores the multilingual repertoires and accumulated
literacies acquired through the course of the refugees' multiple
movements. Through the lens of transnationalism, the author
emphasizes that despite their numerous struggles, the refugees
daily and diligently use and strategize their old, emerging, and
evolving linguistic and literacy resources to make the best of
their resettlement. This book will shed light on the language and
literacy practices among transnational and diasporic communities,
minoritized or marginalized groups for researchers in these fields
as well as practitioners and resettlement agencies working with
refugee populations.
