SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
This study investigated the ways that newly resettled Iraqi, Muslim refugee families are enacting, defining, and critiquing citizenship in their new American contexts. Through a three year ethnographic, multi-lingual and multi-sited study, I examine the following question: "How are refugee families who live in poverty making themselves and being made into particular kinds of citizens through their everyday encounters with institutions of the welfare state?" Data collection sites included refugee homes, refugee resettlement agencies, local non-profits, welfare offices, courts, and hospitals. Participants included four focal, Iraqi, Muslim families, as well as several employees of a refugee resettlement agency and several of their Iraqi clients. Refugee youth, who oftentimes have porous and interrupted educational trajectories come to their urban public schools with many needs; many eventually age out of public education. Youth who attended urban public schools suffered discrimination, a lack of care, and silencing and overly punitive techniques by their teachers. Refugee families who live in poverty suffered as a result of a welfare system that prioritizes "self-sufficiency" above all else. Parents found themselves pushed into immediate employment by resettlement agents, with the threat of homelessness looming overhead. This oftentimes locked them into low-wage work, with no health-benefits, working long hours. Over 60% of Iraqi adults in the study reported trauma-related mental health problems, as well as chronic illnesses. All of them lacked access to healthcare after their initial federally funded healthcare benefits lapsed, leaving them without medical attention.
