I had the privilege of reading “American Refuge” when I was looking for a good quality book to add to my class materials where I teach about refugee stories. Being refugee myself, I lived through my own challenges. I didn’t have any connections when I read many other books written about Refugees, but this book, sums it up for me. It gets to the center of the story. The way this book is written, it really helps us understand how to follow the story, simply and most importantly to LISTEN. Diya sheds the light on many issues that refugee share when they arrive, but also reminds us to do our part and not treat this crisis with statistics and numbers. Amazing work Dr. Diya. This book is fascinating helping us to understand the difference in terms and terminologies. You must read Ch.7 to have a better understanding of the difference between “Refugee, Migrant, Immigrant, Undocumented, Stateless, DACAmented, movement…etc”.
Highly recommend!
