Refuge in the Spirit: Religion in the Lives of Congolese Refugees
REFNo: SS1915ES
The project will investigate the significance of religion at different junctures of the Congolese refugee experience. We will conduct interviews among those still living in refugee camps in Kenya and Burundi, as well as among those who have left the camps — either to be repatriated to Congo, or to be resettled in the United States. We will look at the role of mainstream, transnational, internationally connected religious communities as well as smaller, non-denominational, and independent churches. This multi-sited, multi-confessional (i.e., concerning multiple religious identities) approach will allow us to feature a diversity of refugee perspectives and offer a more comprehensive understanding of refugee experiences than can be found in existing studies. At the same time, our qualitative, oral history/ethnographic approach to the research will allow us to highlight the many contingencies of individual experience and consider how other aspects of refugee identity — such as gender, age, or ethnicity — intersect with religion. Thus, this research seeks to attain the following specific objectives:
1. To establish and document from lived experiences of Congolese refugees the ways in which they navigate their flight experiences.
2. To understand the role religion and/or spirituality play in the lives of Congolese refugees (or repatriated refugees) in different geographic locations (USA, Kenya, Burundi, and Congo)
3. To analyze different refugees’ resilience mechanisms in coping with their flight experiences.
