Erfahrungen organisierter Gewalt in Lebenserzählungen syrischer Flüchtlinge zwischen Exit, Voice und Loyalty
Nach dem umfangreichen Zuzug von Flüchtlingen nach Deutschland hat sich auch die Forschungslandschaft in diesem Feld diversifiziert. Einen bedeutsamen Aspekt innerhalb dieser Forschung bieten Ansätze, in denen die Lebenswelt der Betroffenen in den Fokus gestellt und versucht wird, deren Erfahrungsraum zu rekonstruieren. Hiervon ausgehend werden in diesem Beitrag folgende Fragen beantwortet: Welche Rolle spielten Gewalterfahrungen und besonders die Erfahrungen organisierter Gewalt vor und während der Flucht bei den in Deutschland vor etwa fünf Jahren aus Syrien angekommenen Menschen? Wie werden Erfahrungen mit (organisierter) Gewalt und Willkür von Schutzsuchenden biografisch verarbeitet? Wie verorten sich diese Menschen nach ihrem Ankommen in Deutschland zwischen Selbstwirksamkeit und Fremdkontrolle? Zur Beantwortung dieser Fragen greifen wir auf biografietheoretische Annahmen, die dokumentarische Methode sowie das Konzept von Exit, Voice und Loyalty nach HIRSCHMAN (1970) zurück. Wir vergleichen auf dieser Grundlage zwei biografische Erzählungen junger Flüchtlinge aus Syrien, die von uns 2019 im Rahmen mehrerer Lehrforschungsprojekte als Teil von 19 narrativen Interviews zu Erfahrungen der Rolle organisierter Gewalt erhoben wurden. Die Auswertungen zeigen, dass sich biografische Orientierungsrahmen im Kontext erzwungener Migration nach dem Grad wahrgenommener Selbstwirksamkeit stark verändern können und die Exit-Option dabei eine Übergangsposition zwischen Protest und Anpassung repräsentiert.

Nujeen : one girl's incredible journey from war-torn Syria in a wheelchair
This book tells the inspiring true story of a remarkable young hero: Nujeen Mustafa, a teenager born with cerebral palsy, whose harrowing journey from war-ravaged Syria to Germany in a wheelchair is a breathtaking tale of fortitude, grit, and hope that lends a face to the greatest humanitarian issue of our time, the Syrian refugee crisis. For millions around the globe, sixteen-year-old Nujeen Mustafa embodies the best of the human spirit. Confined to a wheelchair because of her cerebral palsy and denied formal schooling in Syria because of her illness, Nujeen taught herself English by watching American soap operas. When her small town became the epicenter of the brutal fight between ISIS militants and US-backed Kurdish troops in 2014, she and her family were forced to flee. Despite her physical limitations, Nujeen embarked on the arduous trek to safety and a new life. The grueling sixteen-month odyssey by foot, boat, and bus took her across Turkey and the Mediterranean to Greece, through Macedonia to Serbia and Hungary, and finally, to Germany. Yet, in spite of the tremendous physical hardship she endured, Nujeen's extraordinary optimism never wavered. Refusing to give in to despair or see herself as a passive victim, she kept her head high. As she told a BBC reporter, \"You should fight to get what you want in this world.\"Nujeen's positivity and resolve infuses this unforgettable story of one young woman determined to make a better life for herself. Told by acclaimed British foreign correspondent Christina Lamb, Nujeen is a unique and powerful memoir that gives voice to the Syrian refugee crisis, helping us to understand that the world must change--and offering the inspiration to make that change reality.

The home I worked to make : voices from the new Syrian diaspora
\"War forced millions of Syrians from their homes. It also forced them to rethink the meaning of home itself. In 2011, Syrians took to the streets demanding freedom. Brutal government repression transformed peaceful protests into one of the most devastating conflicts of our times, killing hundreds of thousands and displacing millions. The Home I Worked to Make takes Syria's refugee outflow as its point of departure. Based on hundreds of interviews conducted across more than a decade, it probes a question as intimate as it is universal: What is home? With gripping immediacy, Syrians now on five continents share stories of leaving, losing, searching, and finding (or not finding) home. Across this tapestry of voices, a new understanding emerges: home, for those without the privilege of taking it for granted, is both struggle and achievement. Recasting \"refugee crises\" as acts of diaspora-making, The Home I Worked to Make challenges readers to grapple with the hard-won wisdom of those who survive war and to see, with fresh eyes, what home means in their own lives.\"-- Provided by publisher.
