Promoting positive development among refugee adolescents

Of the estimated 35.3 million refugees around the world (UNHCR, Figures at a Glance, 2022), approximately 50% are children under the age of 18. Refugee adolescents represent a unique group as they navigate developmental tasks in an unstable and often threatening environment or in resettlement contexts in which they often face marginalization. In addition to physiological, social, and psychological changes that mark adolescence, refugee youth often face traumatic experiences, acculturative stress, discrimination, and a lack of basic resources. In this consensus statement, we examine research on refugee adolescents' developmental tasks, acculturative tasks, and psychological adjustment using Suárez-Orozco and colleague's integrative risk and resilience model for immigrant-origin children and youth proposed by Suárez-Orozco et al. Finally, we discuss recommendations—moving from proximal to more distal contexts.     

两汉流民问题初探

两汉流民问题具有规模大、地域集中、持续时间长、呈放射状迁移和成分渐趋复杂等特点。除自然原因外,苛吏暴政、豪强兼并和战乱等导致了流民问题的出现。两汉政府采取限制、镇压和遣返,控制与安抚,入籍新地和修城池设郡县等措施安置流民;而返回故乡、死亡、入边地与城市、沦为奴婢、被收为兵、入居山林或参加农民起义,则是流民的基本去向。流民实边与入籍新地,有助于开发边地,推动民族融合与文化的交流扩散;流民反抗封建暴政的斗争在一定程度上推动了社会文明和历史进步。但是,由流民问题引发的两汉社会的剧烈动荡,人民生命财产的严重浩劫,社会生产力的严重破坏,则是不容忽视的消极影响。     

宋代流民救助述论

由于自然灾害、战争和土地兼并等原因,宋代出现了一些无家可归,四处流浪的流民。为救助这些流民,宋朝采取了对流民进行救济和安置、让流民返还故乡、照顾流民中的老弱病者、招募流民从军入伍等具体救助措施。这些措施对流民起到了较好的救助作用,并对后世产生了深远影响。

Why one goes to school: what school means to young people entering foster care

In this interpretative childhood study of 17 boys and girls aged 13–16 years placed in foster families, the experiences and attitudes towards school are explored. The importance of school as an arena for both learning and socialization is emphasized. Data were collected through interviews, network maps and text answers via mobile phone (‘beepers’). Their educational improvement was based on their understanding of scholastic achievement as meaningful for their future, stability in daily routines and the involvement and support of family, peers and teachers. Access to peers at school is important, and group activities facilitate this. Because of their background, foster youth can also be exposed to bullying from peers. Both learning and socialization at school affect their self‐esteem.     

论难民国际保护的基本原则

根据1951年日内瓦公约及1967年纽约协定,难民本质上是因为政治、种族、宗教、战争、环境等原因被迫逃离本国或经常居住国而流亡到其他国家的人。难民问题是当今世界各国必须面对的严峻而现实的社会问题,也是涉及人权和国家主权的重要国际问题。为了保护难民权利,联合国和其他国际组织通过各种国际性或区域性文件为难民保护制定了一些基本原则,以促进国际社会对难民问题的关注。     

南京大屠杀时期难民生活状况研究

在南京大屠杀期间,中国难民始终承受着食物奇缺与遭受屠杀的双重威胁。当面对食物与死亡的两难抉择时,人们普遍表现出难以言表的复杂心理,甚至有人在食物与道德之间权衡徘徊。从总体上看,以南京安全区国际委员会为代表的慈善团体是难民主食的主要提供者,他们的行为从侧面反映了侵华日军的非人道行为,并证明了中中人民的顽强生命力。

‘Black holes in the fabric of the nation’: refugees in Mohsin Hamid’s Exit West

ABSTRACT

This article explores the representation of refugees in Mohsin Hamid’s Exit West, a novel which has been widely celebrated for its response to the refugee crisis of its contemporary moment. In a distinct echo of Salman Rushdie’s claim, thirty-five years earlier, that it ‘may be argued that the past is a country from which we have all emigrated’, Hamid’s novel similarly claims that ‘we are all migrants through time.’ Moreover, like Rushdie’s fiction, Hamid’s novel incorporates elements of magical realism: its protagonists escape their unnamed war-torn city through a ‘door’ that instantaneously transports them to Mykonos, and they subsequently travel through other such ‘doors’ to London and California. Their story is interspersed with a series of vignettes in which other migrants also find themselves magically transported across national borders. As well as considering the ways in which Hamid’s novel seeks to humanise refugees, this article considers the novel’s evocation of a world in which human beings – like capital, images, and (mis)information – have gained access to largely ungovernable networks of instantaneous travel across vast distances. It argues that Hamid’s novel is not just ‘about’ refugees but also constitutes a reflection on how they and their journeys are represented and mediated by actually-existing technologies.
