This timely and appropriate book is based on the results of a research project that focused on the lives and experiences of a sample of 100 Bosnian families in an upstate New York community. The book tells the story of the psychological, socio-cultural, and economic adaptations of the Bosnian refugees to this community, the strategies they have used for successful adjustment, and the obstacles they still face in reconciling personal hopes and dreams, the effects of the trauma of war, and the cultural differences and dislocation that are a part of their experience.
