While the world's refugee population reaches record high numbers,
countries offering third-country resettlement are increasingly
shifting toward policies of exclusion and austerity. This edited
volume envisions a more humane future for refugee resettlement.
Combining anthropology with a variety of professional perspectives
(education, health care, theology, administration, politics, and
social work) ethnography is used to demonstrate the efficacy of
programs and interventions that create and nurture social capital
in culturally specific and accessible ways. The contributors
present case studies of resettlement in the United States, England,
Australia, and Canada and contend that social networks have an
essential role-are the crux-in the reconfigurations of refugee
well-being, belonging, and place-making vis-a-vis the bureaucratic
limitations of state and institutional factors. This book includes
short contributions from refugees, representatives of resettlement
organizations, and government officials, including Jhuma N.
Acharya, Bimala Bastola, Khada Bhandari, Kiri Hata, Govin Magar,
Madhu Neupane, Natacha Nikokeza, Angela K. Plummer, Lance
Rasbridge, Chris Sunderlin, David Thatcher, and John Tluang.
