N2  - "This book traces the experiences of Syrian-Armenian women refugees in Armenia as they navigated their changing and gendered identities from their adopted 'homeland' to their socially constructed new 'ancestral' home. The rich ethnographic research conducted over 6 years by the author reveals how women adjusted to new lives in Armenia, supported themselves through gendered work such as embroidery production, yet mostly challenge simple identities such as 'refugee' or 'repatriate'. It further reveals crucial insight into how experiences and traumatic memories of war in Syria and the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict reciprocally shape each other in the minds of the women interviewed"--
