Description: This book explores the sense of home that refugees and migrants from the Horn of Africa created in Melbourne’s public housing estates. The transition from forced migration and resettlement to making Melbourne their new home is presented through stories narrated by refugees and migrants from the Horn of Africa. These are considered one of Melbourne’s most vulnerable communities and shamefully some of the most discriminated and isolated. Thus, this book shows that despite differences in culture, customs and ways of life in their home countries, migrants and refugees from the Horn of Africa are moving towards integrating into the Australian society. This book is written for policymakers, researchers, social workers, humanitarian and non-profit organisations, religious groups and organisations and anyone interested in social justice, refugees’ studies, migrants and integration, and social equity.
