ABSTRACT Refugee related issues have become more prominent in Western policy-makers’ discussions as families fleeing oppression and unimaginable violence cross borders seeking safety and are sometimes resettled in host nations. In this paper we ask, how do resettled refugees negotiate their cultural identity in terms of physical and psychological ‘borders’ and subsequent power structures dictated by those borders? We apply a feminist borderlands theoretical lens to critically consider the resiliencies of members of six Karen refugee families (n = 14) resettled in the U.S. Using their words, we illuminate their lived experiences of identity and place, family roles and rules, and personal dissonant emotions of feeling safe and forced to flee their homes and families. We challenge researchers and clinicians to consider refugees’ own explanations for balancing and reconstructing their lives as people living between borders.

女权主义边疆理论和克伦难民:在家庭中寻找位置

摘要 随着逃离压迫和难以想象的暴力的家庭越境寻求安全,有时在东道国重新安置,难民相关问题在西方决策者的讨论中变得更加突出。在本文中,我们问,重新安置的难民如何根据身体和心理“边界”以及这些边界决定的后续权力结构来协商他们的文化身份?我们运用女权主义的边疆理论视角批判性地考虑了在美国重新安置的六个卡伦难民家庭(n = 14)成员的适应力 用他们的话,我们阐明了他们在身份和地点、家庭角色和规则以及个人不和谐方面的生活经历感到安全并被迫逃离家园和家人的情绪。
