It is not an easy road—but hope is the oxygen of my life. These insightful words of Meron Semedar, a refugee from Eritrea, reflect the feelings of the eleven men and women featured in this book. These refugees share their extraordinary experiences of fleeing oppression, violence and war in their home countries in search of a better life in the United States. Each chapter of Refugees in America focuses on an individual from a different country, from a 93-year-old Polish grandmother who came to the United States after surviving the horrors of Auschwitz to a young undocumented immigrant from El Salvador who became an American college graduate, despite being born impoverished and blind. Some have found it easy to reinvent themselves in the United States, while others have struggled to adjust to America, with its new culture, language, prejudices, and norms. Each of them speaks candidly about their experiences to author Lee T. Bycel, who provides illuminating background information on the refugee crises in their native countries. Their stories help reveal the real people at the center of political debates about US immigration. Giving a voice to refugees from such far-flung locations as South Sudan, Guatemala, Syria, and Vietnam, this book weaves together a rich tapestry of human resilience, suffering, and determination. Profits from the sale of this book will be donated to two organizations that are doing excellent refugee resettlement work and offer many opportunities to support refugees: HIAS (founded as the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society) hias.org International Rescue Committee (IRC) rescue.org

Flüchtende gelten als eine der schutzbedürftigsten und vulnerabelsten gesellschaftlichen Gruppen überhaupt. Ihre Unterbringungssituation ist dementsprechend äußerst prekär und hinsichtlich zentraler Aspekte durch Fremdbestimmung, Exklusion und fehlende Partizipationsmöglichkeiten gekennzeichnet. Der Sammelband beschäftigt sich mit den verschiedenen Unterbringungskontexten und -realitäten von unterschiedlichen Flüchtendengruppen mit besonderen Schutzbedarfen in Deutschland, den damit zusammenhängenden Strukturen, Praxen und Erfahrungen von Inklusion, Exklusion und Partizipation und ordnen das Unterbringungssystem gesellschaftstheoretisch ein.
