The Palliative Role of Green Space for Somali Bantu Women Refugees in Displacement and Resettlement
This article investigates recollections of place attachments among a sample of Somali Bantu women refugees who have resettled in a town in New York State, USA.

We asked about memories of farms in Somalia…

Bosnian Refugees in America
This book is based on the results of a research project that focused on the lives and experiences of a sample of 100 Bosnian families in an upstate New York community.
