Story
Beyond the Sand and Sea is an extraordinary and inspiring book for anyone searching for pinpricks of light in the darkness. Meticulously reported over three years, it reveals the strength of a family of Somali refugees who never lost faith in America - and exposes the broken refugee resettlement system that kept that family trapped for more than two decades and has turned millions into permanent exiles.

Story
What makes a home? What makes a refugee? As allegedly record-breaking numbers of migrants attempt to reach Britain and public conversation becomes, often, poisonous, Island Refuge is a powerful account of what has come before and what has been learned by it. Almost every time, we see when we look back, Britain has not been an island refuge from the world, but an island refuge for the world. Not a country burdened by refugees, but instead transformed and strengthened by them.

Story
In these stories of struggle and hope, as one volunteer said, "you see the American story." For some families, minor mistakes create catastrophes—food stamps cut off, educational opportunities missed, benefits lost. Other families, with the help of volunteers and social supports, escape these traps and take steps toward reaching their dreams. Engaging and eye-opening, We Thought It Would Be Heaven brings listeners into the daily lives of Congolese refugees and offers guidance for how activists, workers, and policymakers can help refugee families thrive.

Story
Alla fine degli anni ottanta, quando la sua famiglia decise di fuggire dall'Iran in guerra, Dina Nayeri era una bambina. Il rumore delle bombe, le sirene e le corse per nascondersi nel seminterrato, la poca luce filtrata dalle finestre serrate erano tutte cose normali. Negli anni a venire, sui letti a castello delle case per i rifugiati di Londra, di Dubai, di Roma, poi dell'Oklahoma, Dina conobbe per la prima volta il silenzio del sonno tranquillo e ininterrotto: quella fu la sua prima idea di cosa fosse la pace.

Story
I 2013 flygter den kurdiske journalist Behrouz Boochani ud af sit fødeland Iran. Efter en farefuld færd over havet bliver han samlet op og indespærret på Manus Island, en ø i Stillehavet nord for Papua Ny Guinea. I fem år holdes han ulovligt interneret i asylcentret Manus Fængsel. "Kun bjergene er min ven" er hans vidnesbyrd. Smuglet ud af lejren én sms ad gangen er bogen en unik insiderfortælling og en litterær kraftpræstation i mange genrer. Den er også en oprørsk stemme, der vidner om trods, håb og menneskelighed i et umenneskeligt system.

La storia di Mahmoud Traoré è quella di migliaia di giovani africani che, attratti dal mondo globalizzato, si lanciano sulle strade dell'esilio a piedi o a bordo di taxi-collettivi, camion da bestiame, piroghe, lasciandosi alle spalle il Sahel, il Sahara, la Libia e il Maghreb. Mahmoud ha impiegato tre anni e mezzo per percorrere la distanza che separa Dakar da Siviglia, mentre a un turista europeo sarebbero bastate poco più di tre ore di volo.

Story
Nell'inverno del 2017 Edoardo Albinati e Francesca d'Aloja si uniscono a una missione dell'UNHCR in Niger, nel cuore dell'Africa. Otto giorni, poco più di una settimana - e due sguardi, due voci, per cercare di capire e raccontare cosa succede in quel crocevia dove passano profughi e armi, migranti e uranio, mentre il deserto avanza e l'acqua scarseggia sempre più. Il Niger è uno dei Paesi più poveri al mondo, ma pronto ad accogliere un numero impressionante di rifugiati dal Mali e dalla Nigeria, senza contare gli sfollati interni.

Story
"Buon appetito ai pesci!": ecco l'augurio di qualcuno che si sente autorizzato a sfogare liberamente il suo rancore quando annega un migrante. E intanto vengono chiusi i porti alle navi che prestano soccorso, mettendo in discussione i principi rispettati dagli uomini di mare di ogni tempo. Mentre era in corso la prima di queste nuove emergenze, il caso della nave Aquarius, Edoardo Albinati ha scioccato l'opinione pubblica: "Ho desiderato che su quella nave morisse qualcuno, morisse un bambino", così sarebbe cessato il gioco cinico di scommettere sulla vita altrui per pura propaganda.

Story
Here the emotional journeys of two German Jewish refugees are reconstructed from a substantial collection of family material, archives and secondary historical sources, which are used imaginatively to explore and illuminate a wider history. The letters evoke how it felt at the time to be a refugee and express eloquently the distress and losses involved in exile, separation and internment, providing intense dynamic snapshots of how they managed their emotions from day to day. The author shows the complex interrelationship between personal lives and social/historical events.

Story
We live in an age of displacement. Refugee numbers are increasing due to a proliferation of fragile states. And yet, rising populist nationalism has undermined the political willingness of rich countries to accept migrants and asylum seekers. Given these contradictory trends, how can we create sustainable refugee policies that enable displaced people to live in safety and dignity, while operating at scale? The Wealth of Refugees draws upon a decade of original qualitative and quantitative research to offer practical solutions.

Story
Like so many American factory towns, Lewiston, Maine, thrived until its mill jobs disappeared and the young began leaving. But then the story unexpectedly veered: over the course of fifteen years, the city became home to thousands of African immigrants and, along the way, turned into one of the most Muslim towns in the US. Now about 6,000 of Lewiston's 36,000 inhabitants are refugees and asylum seekers, many of them Somali. Cynthia Anderson tells the story of this fractious yet resilient city.

Story
In this compelling book, Ther examines the major causes of mass flight, from religious intolerance and ethnic cleansing to political persecution and war. He describes the perils and traumas of flight and explains why refugees and asylum seekers have been welcomed in some periods - such as during the Cold War - and why they are rejected in times such as our own. He also examines the afterlives of the refugees in the receiving countries, which almost always benefited from admitting them. He reconceptualizes Europe as a unit of geography and historiography.

Into the maelstrom of unprecedented contemporary debates about immigrants in the United States, this perfectly timed book gives us a portrait of what the new immigrant experience in America is really like. Written as a "guide" for the newly arrived, and providing "practical information and advice", Roya Hakakian, an immigrant herself, reveals what those who settle here love about the country, what they miss about their homes, the cruelty of some Americans, and the unceasing generosity of others.

Il 2 giugno 2018, festa della Repubblica, in una fornace abbandonata nelle campagne calabresi, un giovane africano viene ucciso con una fucilata alla testa. Si chiamava Soumaila Sacko, aveva 29 anni, veniva dal Mali. Con due amici stava raccogliendo lamiere per tirar su una baracca nel ghetto dei braccianti neri della piana di Gioia Tauro. Proprio quel giorno, mentre il giovane viene colpito a morte, Matteo Salvini, appena nominato ministro dell'Interno, scandisce in un comizio a Vicenza il suo slogan contro gli immigrati: "La pacchia è finita".

While the Boko Haram conflict has reached a certain level of culturation saturation, what is known about the conflict remains patchy. This collection, featuring interviews with 47 people of all genders, ages and a variety of religious backgrounds, foregrounds the realities of those who are living through the conflict and presenting the humanity of all concerned. Even as they discuss the conflict, their narratives also reflect realities beyond violence, making this an essential cultural archive.

Lan fought her way through confusion, and racism, to become a successful lawyer and novelist. Four decades later, she faced the biggest challenge in her life: raising her daughter, Harlan - half Vietnamese by birth and 100 percent American teenager by inclination.
