Abstract

This study follows a former child refugee’s experience of family resettlement in Chile. Born into the Palestinian Iraqi community further imperiled by the 2003 invasion of Iraq, his family fled first to the Al-Tanf refugee camp before placement in Chile. While most of the world’s refugees dwell in marginal conditions in areas neighboring conflicts, another strain of permanent settlement has been highly developed amongst some of the wealthiest countries. For countries such as Chile—by strict definition now high-income, but only newly considering a role as a haven for refugees—tentative steps toward resettlement protocols mean that case data are limited. By carefully studying a family’s resettlement and subsequent experience from a child refugee’s reflections, it is possible to sketch out and understand a range of challenges at the human scale of supporting refugees.

抽象的

这项研究是根据一位前儿童难民在智利进行家庭安置的经历进行的。他的家人出生于伊拉克的巴勒斯坦巴勒斯坦社区，并在2003年入侵伊拉克后进一步陷入困境，他的家人先逃到了Al-Tanf难民营，然后被安置在智利。尽管世界上大多数难民在毗邻冲突地区的边缘地区居住，但在一些最富裕的国家中，永久定居的另一种形式已经高度发展。对于像智利这样的国家（严格来说，现在是高收入国家，但只是最近才考虑将其作为难民的避风港），朝着移民协议迈出的初步步骤意味着病例数据有限。通过仔细研究家庭的重新安置以及随后从儿童难民的反思中获得的经验，
