This book provides perspectives from different refugee groups and the resettlement agencies that smooth their transition into a new life context. It discusses how they overcome displacement and cope with trauma and how they remain vulnerable to marginality and delays in economic independence.

This book uses the author¿s participatory research with refugees, producing a portrait of fear, desperation, courage, and optimism. Refugee voices lead us through tortuous journeys, which provide powerful ideas for revamping an overwhelmed global refugee system.
