It examines their relationships with other people from Bosnia and the former Yugoslavia, including community groups, and how these relationships have changed over time. In examining these narratives, issues of intergenerational differences are highlighted, with interviewees positioning their experiences in relation to both their parents and their second-generation peers. Finally, it explores how former refugees maintain their relationships with family and friends in Bosnia, suggesting that these transnational connections provide them with as much familiarity and comfort as they do feelings of alienation.","PeriodicalId":51940,"journal":{"name":"Immigrants and Minorities","volume":"36 1","pages":"161 - 177"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2018-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/02619288.2018.1471858","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46461879","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Their processes to uncover their parents’ wartime, refugee and settlement pasts are mediated through public and personal forums. Accordingly, this analysis is framed by a theory of post-memory, which considers the narrative effects of living in close proximity to (the sometimes concealed) stories of their parents’ displacement and family separation. This cohort search for a wider frame to articulate their parents’ pasts as Eastern European (mainly Polish and Latvian) refugees, which is lacking in public discussions around immigration to Australia. They complicate and in some cases undermine celebratory narratives of migration to Australia and of family settlement. On an intimate level, their parents’ experiences are deployed as a means to grapple with their alternative family structures and less-than-conventional childhoods within immigration centres or camps, which were influenced by discriminatory policy for non-British migrants, and single mothers in particular. When adopting a collective lens, these histories are projected onto wider historical understandings of the immigration scheme, which these descendants of displaced persons seek to complicate.","PeriodicalId":51940,"journal":{"name":"Immigrants and Minorities","volume":"36 1","pages":"105 - 124"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2018-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/02619288.2018.1471854","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47596048","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The findings explore how young Tamil people gave meaning to family when they interacted with key individuals and negotiated cultural practices in different spaces. Moreover, intergenerational family narratives emerged as a key practice through which Tamils preserved the family identity. The analysis demonstrates how and when family separation can manifest in personal memories to reveal stories of agency and resilience. A critical engagement of the past can help to better understand concepts of childhood in relation to family and family separation in war affected diaspora communities.","PeriodicalId":51940,"journal":{"name":"Immigrants and Minorities","volume":"36 1","pages":"143 - 160"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2018-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/02619288.2018.1471857","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48808827","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The impetus for this special issue arose out of a collection of papers presented at Professor Joy Damousi’s ARC Laureate Fellowship conference, ‘Global Histories of Refugees in the 20th and 21st Centuries’ at the University of Melbourne in October 2016. The authors presented papers that engaged in some part, conceptually or empirically, with memory and public storytelling relating to refugee families seeking asylum. We know that border crossings and the search for refuge are experiences shared by children, siblings, parents, partners and families. Emerging histories work to move us away from a focus on individual adults or nationally defined cohorts towards multilayered and rich histories of groups and individuals with a variety of intersectional affiliations, socially and historically constructed, including that of family. In the social sciences and the humanities, studies of refugees in Australia have often addressed individuals and groups (ethnic or politically defined cohorts) and shared personal stories, but rarely within a family context.1 Perhaps because they were the first refugee cohort to highlight the need for a specific policy for refugee processing and reception in Australia, South Vietnamese refugees arriving after 1975 have been the subject of much academic study. Some in the social sciences have explored intergenerational tensions that arise from refugee sponsorship and reunification after long periods of separation and violence.2 Culturally situated understandings of family and family dynamics are a strength in this context; but the ongoing evolution of memories of migration, influenced by new social and political contexts and changing dominant discourses around multiculturalism and refugeeness, also necessitates that historians return to earlier studies. As historians, we should be compelled to consider the conflicting layers of meaning built up around (racialised and de-racialised) refugee groups throughout the twentieth century,","PeriodicalId":51940,"journal":{"name":"Immigrants and Minorities","volume":"36 1","pages":"79 - 86"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2018-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/02619288.2018.1471860","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49091527","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In 1894, white middle-class property owners in San Francisco’s Powell Street district protested the Board of School Directors’ decision to relocate the city’s only Chinese public school to a condemned building in their neighbourhood, leading to the renovation of the school’s existing structure within Chinatown and new efforts to restrict both Chinese and Japanese urban settlement. I analyse this event to show the importance of space for the race–class intersection. Protesters described the financial, social and moral costs of living near a Chinese school, thereby establishing racial criteria for middle-class identity and mobility. Theories of racial space must consider discursive links between race, class and space because spatial narratives that reproduce economic dominance over racial minorities help to maintain the racial order.","PeriodicalId":51940,"journal":{"name":"Immigrants and Minorities","volume":"36 1","pages":"1 - 19"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2018-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/02619288.2017.1355734","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41509308","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
