Abstract

[Following experiences of war, the remaking of home in a host country entails a post-war context of uncertainty. This chapter explores how young forced migrants cope as they resettle in new homes in Australia. Attachment theory is used to examine the range of self-protective strategies used by Sri Lankan Tamil refugee and asylum-seeker adolescents to navigate loss and trauma, and how this relates to their sense of home and the world around them in later life. By employing attachment research methods, this chapter builds an account of how Tamil adolescents represent past experiences of loss and trauma and how these relate to their present world as children of families now permanently or precariously resettled in Australia.]
