- Title
Cultural Interaction and Integration in the Context of Immigration: The Case Study of the Nepali-speaking Bhutanese in Adelaide.

- Abstract
One of the most striking elements, when looking at integration as a social problem, is the popular construction of the identity of the refugee in the hosting country, a rhetoric process often made of stereotypes supporting xenophobia largely spread by local media. In this paper, I will argue that a more positive construction of the social and cultural identity of refugees is a crucial element for meaningful integration policies. I will use a case study from my personal research conducted last year in the suburb of Salisbury in the city of Adelaide (in South Australia) with Professor John Gray, among the Nepali-speaking Bhutanese refugees,2 showing, in this way, a positive example of the Australian reception model. Here I will describe, from an anthropological perspective, why this arrangement has proven to be so effective.
