Description: 

Each year, 50,000 to 90,000 refugees are resettled throughout the United States. The influx of new people, cultures, and ideas revitalizes some communities, but also strains others as organizations and foundations seek to incorporate the new populations into their communities. Written by a refugee personally familiar with the American systems, the author seeks to help consultants, foundations, congregations, nonprofits, and government agencies understand what the refugee experience is like in the United States, and what agencies can do to be more effective.
