Description
Reintegration plays a large role in the lives of displaced refugees, who are unable to return back home. Memories of torture, rape, and extreme violence, haunt victims of war for the rest of their lives. These problems combined with resistance from the host country hinder a person's involvement and reintegration into a new society, setting a person up for a trouble and difficulties. In many countries that accepted Central American War refugees, the preexisting government and health care systems have not allow refugees to flourish, let alone participate in policy decisions concerning refugee issues. This presentation will analyze cultural, societal, and political constraints to Central American War refugees in an anthropological approach.
