At the end of 2019, almost 80 million people had been forced to leave the place they called home \"as a result of persecution, conflict, violence, human rights violations or events seriously disturbing public order,\" according to the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (https: \/\/www.unhcr.org\/globaltrends2019\/).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis volume presents the concerted efforts of chapter contributors to alleviate the alienation of those who have been displaced and help them to feel at home in the country in which they have sought refuge. Chapter contributors highlight their endeavors specifically with Latino, Hmong, and African immigrants in the United States and Canada, as well as with a veritable united nations of immigrant identities in general.
