 Organising (Refugee) Integration in Sweden: How It BeginsYashar Mahmud
Chapter 3 in Organising Immigrants' Integration, 2023, pp 31-47 from Springer Abstract: Abstract In this chapter, I argue that the focus on specific phases in migration and the lives of refugees might limit the understanding of refugees’ struggles in their efforts to integrate. Refugee integration, as a process, is highly individual and thus the beginning of integration might be different for each refugee. To put it simply, refugee integration has multiple beginnings. Hence, to have a more comprehensive view, one needs to look at refugee integration as a flow of chained events that occur at various places and times. Doing so would not only provide a more comprehensive understanding of the organising practices refugees go through, but it would also illuminate certain power struggles and vulnerabilities that refugees face when trying to settle in a new country. Most importantly, providing a different understanding of the beginning of refugee integration could have implications for practice and policy, and contribute to a construction of more humane and sustainable refugee integration practices.
