The Syrian refugee crisis has split up families and forced many to relocate in neighboring countries, Europe, and the USA. The severed ties with home put more burden on these families to reestablish the idea of home in their new setting. Belonging and assimilation into the new community are tasks that the families had to undertake for the first time. About 21,567 Syrian refugees were resettled in the US between 3/15/2011 to 11/8/2019. Of those, about 1100 were resettled in Connecticut from 2015 to 2019. This paper will discuss the reconstruction of “home” on the part of those refugees. It is the outcome of interviews that I conducted with Syrian refugee families in Connecticut in 2019. Despite the relatively small number of Syrian refugees relocated to Connecticut as well as the language barrier, most of the interviewed refugees succeeded in creating significant and intimate social connections, which lessened the feelings of alienation and estrangement. This paper will lay out the processes that those Syrian refugee families in Connecticut went through and applied in the new communities that enabled them to experience “home” again. It answers questions such as: what does home means to them? In what ways were they self-aware of their presence as refugees? How was their self-awareness a driving force for integration? What were the challenges that they overcame in that process? How did their displacement impact their sentiments about losing “home” and contribute to their assimilation in the new one? In addition, the paper will reflect on the social, religious and cultural practices that these families implemented in order to facilitate their integration. It argues that in addition to the cultural background of the refugees, it is their strong will for recreating “home” that incentivized them to connect, interact and build relationships with the community that successfully alleviated their feelings of estrangement.
