"Molly Fee's unvarnished account shows how refugees cope during their first months in the United States as local contexts in San Diego and Boise create unique opportunities and obstacles. This book is indispensable for anyone interested in refugee resettlement."--David Scott FitzGerald, coauthor of The Refugee System: A Sociological Approach "A compelling story of the challenges faced by refugees resettled in the US. Using painstaking fieldwork and a deep knowledge of the structures shaping reception, this work transforms our understanding of resettlement programs. It is essential reading for anyone interested in responses to refugees."--Matthew J. Gibney, Elizabeth Colson Professor of Politics and Forced Migration, University of Oxford
