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 the book underscore the importance of addressing the challenge of integrating highly trained professionals into the professions for which they are credentialed.RefugeesCanadaForeign workersCanadaEconomicsBusiness & EconomicsRefugeesForeign workers362.870971Ricento Thomas849223MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910495157403321Refugees in Canada2272380UNINA
