“…Therefore, only 1% of the working-age refugee population holds work permission (Betts, Ali, & Memisoglu, 2017). Nevertheless, slow access to the labor market heavily affects integration opportunities (Alisic & Letschert, 2016;Davidson & Carr, 2010). Unfortunately, this situation creates a propensity for refugees to operate illegal businesses, such as the unlawful deportation of goods from their own country without taxation or duty (Campbell, 2006).…”

“…Social inequalities experienced by refugees and asylum seekers may be a result of government legislation that produce embargos on paid work, economic markets that exploit cheap labour and social benefit systems that house inequality and bias (Ghosh, 2005;Sales, 1992). G. Davidson and Carr (2010) argue further that forced migration is inextricably linked to social exclusion and poverty and that individuals from refugee backgrounds find themselves in the midst of governmental systems that offer them little social and economic capital. Child asylum seekers and child refugees are an especially vulnerable grouping in the global diaspora.…”

This writing presents a retrospective view of the literature around meeting students' learning needs in Australian schools. It has particular reference to one particular group of students with refugee experience who have been in Australian schools for over a dozen years; students with a background of oracy from Southern Sudan. It highlights the complexities and challenges of the Australian education system in their attempts to authentically engage with the psychological and literacy needs of these students. The development of psychological health and literacy competencies are considered to be two of the most critical and complex responsibilities undertaken by education, and, in the case of these students two of the most significant when considered in relation to successful settlement, acculturation and assimilation. In presenting this literature, the bigger picture of how schools can fail, not only these particular students, but for any number of students from diverse backgrounds, becomes startlingly obvious, as do the ways in which in which the current political agenda inherent in the public education system in Australia privileges students of specific class and culture. Finally, recommendations are made regarding the development of policy and the concentration on pedagogical practices which acknowledge and respect the strengths and capabilities of this group of students with refugee experiences and of all the diverse student cohorts who are currently engaging with Australian schooling. 2 Refugees leave their home country as result of fear of persecution for reasons of race, religion, nationality, political opinion or membership of a particular social group (see http://www.unhcr.org/pages/49c3646c125.html) 3 Individuals who have fled their countries usually as a result of fear of persecution for reasons of race, religion, nationality, political opinion or membership of a particular social group and seek asylum elsewhere (see

“…We rely upon a postcolonial definition of non-western peoples, yet we remain aware of the risks of gendered and cultural essentialism raised by the use of this definition (Narayan, 2000). We may prudently affirm that people of colour and indigenous peoples have been exposed to colonization, neocolonization, and violations of human rights (Davidson and Carr, 2010), while recognizing that violation of human rights also occur in western countries (King et al, 2010). In this paper, immigrants and refugees from non-European ancestry are included in non-western peoples.…”

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to discuss the experiences of multiple forced migrations and resettlement among two refugee families in a mid-sized Canadian city. Design/methodology/approach – Case studies are located within the contingencies of the participants’ lives and the meanings they provide to the events. A postcolonial feminist perspective guided the data analysis to explore the micro-level of individual experiences that unfold within a raced, gendered, and classed reality. Open-ended interviews, participant observation, and field notes were used to collect participants’ perspectives. Data were collected until saturation occurred. Findings – An in-depth analysis of these two case studies revealed that lack of choice and lack of access to health and social services affect health through constant revival of traumatic past experiences prior to arrival to Canada. Three themes emerged from the data analysis: first, shared experiences of forced migrations; second, the past and present: construction of new identities; and third, resettlement challenges and opportunities. These themes overlap and intersect to shape the experiences of double forced migration. Research limitations/implications – This research has limitations related to the sample size but provides data on a topic that deserves more attention in the field of immigrant and health studies. The authors argue that health and social professionals must resist “finalizing” refugees into disempowered identities that undermine human agency. Originality/value – Research on resettlement experiences after forced migration is a burgeoning field in refugee studies. The originality lies in drawing on Bahktin to develop practical implications to guide health and social practice in this area marked by racialization and fundamentalism.
