Quote from the article A Sense of Home in Exile by Sandra Dudley:
Displacement inevitably complicates and changes people's relationships with objects and places, as well as with each other. In order to live as 'normally' as possible within a new place, Karenni refugees seek to make it familiar in material ways...
-They are attempting to connect two points in space and time.
-They affirm their connections through the ritual of food, clothing and everyday activities.
-They are re-creating a sense of home.
