ABSTRACT
This chapter explores how feelings and identity affect the transnational ties of second generation from refugee backgrounds. We assume that the transnational ties of children of refugees might be different from those of other second generation because of the violence and/or trauma that their parents may have suffered and the limited rights that some will have been subjected to as asylum seekers when they arrived in the receiving country. The adult children of refugees show a varied range of feelings and positional identities that influence their relations with the country of origin of their parents.
