Refugees in Canada : On the Loss of Social and Cultural Capital, Hardcover by Ricento, Thomas, ISBN 3030764524, ISBN-13 9783030764524, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US The focus of this book is on the experiences of government-sponsored refugees in the early stages of integrating into Canadian society. Combining data gleaned from a longitudinal study of relatively recently arrived refugees in Calgary, Canada, with a close focus on the case of a physician from Colombia and his family, this volume illustrates how the cultural and social capital of refugees is marginalized and, in some cases, erased by the undervaluing of their education, training, credentials, and other knowledge. The findings presented in th underscore the importance of addressing the challenge of integrating highly trained professionals into the professions for which they are credentialed.
