Given the complexities inherent in defining “community,” we undertook an exploratory study of perceptions of “community” among immigrant and refugee youth. A multidisciplinary team of investigators carried out focus groups in three Seattle Public Housing sites with 39 teenagers, boys and girls, aged 12 to 17. Through content analysis of transcripts, key themes emerged related to community as defined by location, identity, and interests. Implications of the study suggest that many immigrant and refugee youth must literally occupy a common ground with others not of their culture, and that their own sense of “community” is forged out of the dynamic processes of acculturation and by what others think of them
