We are not refugees : true stories of the displaced / Agus Morales ; translated by Charlotte Whittle.
Never in history have so many people been displaced by political and military conflicts at home -- more than 65 million globally. Unsparing, outspoken, vital, We are not refugees tells the stories of many of these displaced, who have not been given asylum. For over a decade, human rights journalist Agus Morales has journeyed to the sites of the world's most brutal conflicts and spoken to the victims of violence and displacement. To Syria, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the Central African Republic. To Central America, the Congo, and the refugee camps of Jordan. To the Tibetan Parliament in exile in northern India.
