Holton, M. J. (2011). Building the resilient community : lessons from the Lost Boys of Sudan. Eugene, Or., Cascade Books.
This book is based on ethnographic research in Kakuma Refugee Camp and remote villages of southern Sudan, a communal case study of 'the Lost Boys of Sudan', a group of devoutly Christian refugees. The author explores the strong cultural and religious beliefs about a sense of responsibility, care and obligation towards others of the refugees, arguing that their ability to survive destruction and displacement through the power of communal obligations and care, and the strength of faith narratives, represents a unique and inspiring model of a resilient community.
