Historical trauma and symptoms impacting United Arab Emirates migrant youth
View through CrossRef
This study examines perceptions of historical trauma and cultural loss among migrant students at the American University of Sharjah (AUS) in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The analysis focuses on 95 students who identified ‘homeland’ as one of the following nations experiencing
conflict: Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Jordan, Sudan, Libya, Algeria, Iraq and Tunisia. Our findings indicate that these students, having lived the majority of their lives outside their homelands and with no first-hand experience of violence, struggle with significant and frequent losses,
and suffer with associated symptoms such as depression, fear and anger.
