ABSTRACT
Narrative Inquiry of Displacement: Stories of Challenges, Change and Resilience describes a variety of displacement experiences in different cultures and contexts. The text uses narrative methodologies to share participant stories and explore the nature and effects of displacement.
Each chapter examines and theorises the narrative approach used to show the link between the data collection and the story, illustrating research decisions and analysis in action. The book presents a range of displacement stories, including migration, immigration, social and political displacement. The chapters also provide stories of adoptions, diaspora communities and people affected by apartheid and the Holocaust.
This volume is recommended for those working in qualitative inquiry and scholars of migration and refugee studies, providing immediate and theoretically nuanced accounts of displacement experiences globally.
