Abstract: |
In 2003, the USA began resettling the first of 12,000 Somali Bantu refugees in cities and towns across America. This study provides a case example of a Somali Bantu refugee’s resettlement journey in order to explore how to better meet the needs of future refugees. It provides a glimpse into the experiences of one family and the services provided to them by a social service resettlement agency. The case study information for this family was gathered from agency case files, including the family’s initial case notes, an extensive interview videotaped in March 2008 with the mother detailing her experience as a refugee fleeing her home country and her family’s resettlement journey to the USA, and in-depth qualitative interviews with the family’s caseworker. As the number of refugees grows worldwide, it is essential for social work professionals to actively explore various options to address global refugee concerns. |
