Uprooting and Resettlement as a Sociological Problem

  • Chapter

Abstract

On reading the title of this paper one may well ask: a problem for whom? Is it a problem for the person who is changing his home, or a problem for the new environment to which an individual or a group of people are trying to adapt themselves? The duality of the question shows the full range of the problem, which involves the migrant at one extreme, and his new place of abode at the other. Included within its scope are all types of human beings and destinies, and all sorts of sociological situations, ranging from the most deeply disturbed, fleeing individuals and groups of refugees, to well-organized emigrant families and well-provided-for groups of settlers. The problem even includes individuals, families and communities who have had to leave home and go to other towns or parts of a country, in order to look for work and a new home.
