What is it like to run away from bombing, lose your family, and
work out how to take care of yourself in a foreign country when you
are seven years old? What do you do when the woman who promised you
a good job in Europe turns out to have sold you into prostitution?
How do you escape from torture and detention in Libya? What is it
like to almost drown in the Mediterranean and then be confined in a
garbage and rat-filled settlement on a Greek island for years? In
this book, Lynne Jones answers these questions by combining direct
testimony from children with a blazingly frank eyewitness account
of providing mental health support on the front line of the migrant
crisis across Europe and Central America in the past five years.
Her diaries document how a compassionate welcome shifted to
indifference and hostility toward those seeking refuge from war,
disaster, and poverty in the richest countries in the world. They
shine light on what it is like to be caught up on the front lines
of the migrant crises in Europe and Central America, either as a
person in flight or as a volunteer trying to help. They show how
people who have fled war, poverty, and disaster-trapped in
degrading, humiliating living conditions-have responded with
resourcefulness and creativity. In the absence of most large
professional humanitarian agencies, migrants and volunteers
together have created a new form of humanitarianism that challenges
old ways of working. Today there are 79 million forcibly displaced
people in the world today, 1 percent of the world's population.
Understanding the perspectives of people on the move has never been
more important. The Author's profits from this book will be donated
to the charity: CHOOSE LOVE/HELP REFUGEES
