Millions of people have fled from conflicts and persecution in all
parts of this Northeast African country, and many thousands more
have been enslaved as human spoils of war. In this book, refugees
and abductees recount their escapes from the wars in Darfur and
South Sudan, from political and religious persecution, and from
abduction by militias. In their own words, they recount life before
their displacement and the reasons for their flight. They describe
life in the major stations on the "refugee railroads:" in the
desert camps of Khartoum, the underground communities of Cairo, the
humanitarian metropolis of Kakuma refugee camp, and the
still-growing internally displaced persons camps in Darfur.
NARRATORS INCLUDE: ABUK, a native of South Sudan now living in
Boston, who survived ten years as a slave after being captured by
an Arab militia. MARCY AND ROSE, best friends who have spent the
vast majority of their lives in a refugee camp in Kakuma, Kenya.
They remember almost nothing of their former homes in Sudan.
MATHOK, who struggled to find opportunities as a refugee in Cairo,
but eventually fell into a world of gangs and violence. JOHN, a
teacher fighting to keep a school for Sudanese refugees alive in a
poverty-stricken slum in Nairobi.
