Displaced: Refugee Writers on Refugee Lives by
5.0
"Each displacement is a tale"
In my opinion, there's one thing that these stories have in common: they show that the experience you gain from travelling is the exact opposite as the one created by the displacement. They're both movement experiences, although one of them enriches you while the other one dispossesses you, from your identity, your singularity, your humanity.
Luckily these stories get to be shared, countering the mainstream narratives offered by medias and politicians, reminding us that behind each words composing a news item, there is an individual for whom the words are a world, while we scroll to the next tweet.
Highly recommended read.
