Summary	"More than a decade since the start of the war in Syria, Turkey is home to almost four million of that country's displaced citizens. Youth is one of the most vulnerable groups within the refugee population, as they struggle with language and education barriers and demands on them to assimilate while retaining their own culture. Lives in Limbo gives voice to the dreams of Syrian youth who have little hope of returning to their devastated homeland and explains why this generation's future will shape how the region will develop. It explores how refugee youth create futures from the liminality of exile"-- Provided by publisher
