“…The literature has been particularly strong in noting this phenomenon among elderly populations, where autonomy is often more difficult (Chochinov et al, 2002) [also cite any other chapters in this book that discuss normalcy]. Similarly, among traumatized populations, routine and consistency has been seen as a way to restore dignity and hope (Wheaton, Alumai, and Onyango, 2008). But one could argue that if deprivation is the normal state, anything which challenges that normalcy may improve the chances for dignity.…”

Refugee situations can pose a threat to dignity due to the loss of land and livelihood. This chapter however argues that dignity is dynamic, and that autonomy and normalcy can play a role in restoring dignity at different stages of the refugee experience. We begin by exploring two theoretical dignity dichotomies, and then examine autonomy and normalcy as two of dignity's overlooked antecedents. We proceed to the case of Nepali-Bhutanese refugees, and show how dignity, rather than remaining in a steady state, waxes and wanes over time. Before concluding we offer some thoughts as to how dignity can be restored in the post-resettlement context.
