Through oral history and ethnography, the book examines how refugees from Bhutan, Burma, Iraq, and Somalia interpret US media representations. It explores their learning about America, the impact of media on their sense of belonging, and how the government shapes their understanding of American culture. By interviewing refugees and resettlement administrators, the author offers a nuanced analysis of the complex relationship between media and the refugee experience before, during, and after resettlement.
