“…Such tools make it possible for Turkish people to stay in touch with their hometown, language, and family in new ways. Mosselson (2009) found similar views among Bosnian refugees who described themselves as internationalized, but not Americanized.…”

“…Oikonomidoy (2011) argued that knowledge of immigrant children's identity development offers tools for educators in school settings to support the children's academic and social progress. While immigrant parents and children engage in various sociocultural practices as they negotiate their cultural identities, teachers might have challenges in understanding the complexity of this process and be unaware of the multicultural knowledge, skills, and perspectives that parents have (Mosselson, 2009). Therefore, the idea of third spaces might be a tool to better understand the dynamic identity formation process of immigrant children within the context of family and community.…”

“…Although the enclave often appears to insulate students from negative influences and foster academic engagement, there is also evidence to the contrary. Russian Jewish refugees faired better academically when they received support from parents and U.S. peers, but not when they affiliated with Russian peers (Trickett & Birman, 2005), as was the case with many Bosnians (Mosselson, 2006(Mosselson, , 2007(Mosselson, , 2009a). Mosselson's (2006) Roots & Routes paradigm addressed the individual level of attention to refugee experiences we argue for above, as it more appropriately captured the histories of the refugees themselves.…”

“…The oversimplification of refugee students, as a single entity with a common experience of victimhood, strips individuals of their humanity in exchange for the identity of "the refugee" (Malkki, 1995;Mosselson, 2009a). Further, Malkki (1996) argued that the refugee condition as expressed in discourse and practice becomes one of "dehistoricizing universalism" (p. 379).…”

“…Crowley (p. 18) refers to the 'informal criteria of belonging', which may imply instances of exclusion that are more ambiguous than racial, ethnic, gender or class segregation or denial of legal citizenship, and, as such, are less noticeable in daily life. While schools are considered to be the key to facilitating the socialisation and inclusion of immigrant children in the new society (Suárez-Orozo & Suárez-Orozo, 2001;Adams & Kirova, 2006), they also constitute contexts within which children may experience exclusion and/or an inability to achieve belonging on an emotional level, due to a lack of respect, safety and compassion (Devine & Kelly, 2006;Mosselson, 2009;Pinson et al, 2010). The aim of this article is to explore how immigrant children discursively achieve belonging.…”
