Religion, Spirituality, and the Refugee Experience in Melbourne, Australia, 1990s-2010

Více o knize

Focusing on the experiences of refugees from Ethiopia, Iraq, Somalia, and Sudan, the book explores how their religious and spiritual beliefs influence their journeys. Susan P. Ennis analyzes their flight, asylum processes, and settlement in Melbourne from the 1990s to the early 2000s, revealing that religiosity provided support throughout their experiences. Notably, many refugees experienced a shift in their spiritual beliefs during emigration. Ennis proposes a framework that categorizes these changes in religiosity at different stages of the refugee experience.
