Displaced: Refugee Writers on Refugee Lives by

5.0

This is a phenomenal book that I loved from start to finish and I can honestly say that I think this a vital piece of work that everyone should read. I was so impressed and moved by each and every essay that I immediately felt the urge to share it with as many people as possible. From Syria to Ethiopia to Vietnam, we hear a variety of voices of refugees who are relating their experiences of leaving their home country to find refuge elsewhere and the subsequent trauma they are still dealing and coming to terms with. It’s incredibly powerful and important to hear these stories and perspectives, especially in this current climate where refugees are demonised and reduced to a faceless, homogenous mass that poses a threat to our society. It was heartbreaking to read about everything these people have sacrificed and lost in order to be safe and find a better life, and these stories will stay with me forever.
