Dear Anneke Newman

I do not know it this fits your quest but my (field(work) was among 
(about 500) young men, their families and migration in The Netherlands.

With anthropologists and (family) therapists we developed, the last 
three decades, an analytical (and clinical!) model on migration as 
transition which is used in mental health and youth care settings in The 
Netherlands and Belgium.

Transition in our model has a multiple meanings and usages: both 
adolescence and migration are taken as life-phase-transitions. This 
offers popportunities to apply/implement active ingredients destilled 
from 'rites of passage' into different multicultural/multireligious 
situations/contexts.

Enclosed you find ('ethnography at home'....clinical anthropology)

1) an English 2pp summary of the Migration as Transition model (1996 
with literature)

2) a from Dutch translated paper in English on *Rituals and Re-embedding 
young people* in which case-vignettes are used of (troubling/in trouble) 
young men and women partly due to migration (2010 with literature).

3) a short paper on Nasjaro Afro-Surinam boy running into trouble in 
education (2010 with literature)

4) a summary of a bundle of 20 publications (forthcoming) on young men, 
from families with and without migration histories, who wrestle with 
both formal (school) and transcultural education (bi-cultural 
socialization in becoming Dutch). (2019)

5) in 2015 I prepared a follow-up texts on the 2010 paper about 
Nasjaro's coming of age at the 6th European Conference on African 
Studies/ECAS in Paris on the incompatabilities between state school 
education and family/community education (see HERE 
<http://www.anthropo-gazing.nl/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Van-Bekkum-abstract-First-and-Second-Nations-2015.pdf> 
for abstract with literature)

Hope this helps your (re)search

kind regards Dirck
