After surviving natural disasters, a bloody civil war, and years in displaced persons camps, Somalis arrived in Melbourne as refugees in the mid 1990s. Many spoke no English and had lost members of their immediate and extended families. Their social ties were severed, they found themselves without any standing in society, and their qualifications were often not recognised. They had to start again from scratch, finding housing and employment, entering the education system and raising large families in small houses and apartments. Their children were often born outside Somalia, and are not familiar with the country as visits are rare or do not occur at all. These young people are part of Somali Gen 1.5, sharing common experiences of flight and resettlement. Theirs is a fascinating and complex story, which this book starts to tell.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elizabeth Lakey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1922815403\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781922815408\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Connor Court Publishing Pty Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 252\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.53d","brand":"Elizabeth Lakey","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48241557799167,"sku":"9781922815408","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2e8aa7a6-cd52-4036-9a95-a7bc1c10919d.jpg?v=1772654968","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/identity-suspicion-elizabeth-lakey-9781922815408","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
