Brief description Communities Across Borders: The Transnational Dynamics of Emerging and Stateless Refugee Groups in Australia. Dealing with the pressing issue of the refugee experience, this project investigates the transnational dynamics of four emerging and relatively 'invisible' refugee groups in Australia who are stateless minorities in their homelands. Through ethnographic fieldwork among the Assyrians, Kurds, Southern Sudanese and Oromo in Sydney and Melbourne, the project will present a comprehensive picture of the impact of transnationalism upon the settlement and citizenship of stateless refugees in multicultural Australia. The project will broaden the debate on the transnational cultural processes which operate across borders and challenge the ability of democratic nation-states to sustain the belonging and participation of citizens.
