What Is It About The Concept Of Home That Makes Its Loss So Profound And Devastating, And How Should The Trauma Of Exile And Alienation Be Approached Theologically? M. Jan Holton Examines The Psychological, Social, And Theological Impact Of Forced Displacement On Communities In The Congo And South Sudan And On Indigenous Batwa Tribespersons In Uganda, As Well As On Homeless U.S. Citizens And On U.S. Soldiers Returning From The Wars In Afghanistan And Iraq. She Draws On Ethnographic Work In Africa, Extensive Research In Practical Theology, Sociology, And Psychology, As Well As On Professional Work And Personal Experiences In America And Abroad. In Doing So She Explores How Forced Displacement Disrupts Ones Connection With The Home Place And The Profound Characteristics It Fosters That Can Help People Lean Toward Flourishing Spiritually And Psychologically Throughout Their Lifetime.
