What does it mean for people to have to leave their homes, and what
happens when they seek entry to another country? This book explores the
history of refugees and migration around the world and the effects on
people of never-ending war and conflict. It compares the effects on
society of diversity and interculturalism with historical attempts to
create a racially 'pure' culture. It takes an international perspective,
and offers a range of views from people who have personal experience of
migration, including the campaigners Meltem Avcil and Muzoon
Almellehan, the comedian and actor Omid Djalili and the poet Benjamin
Zephaniah.
Aimed at young people aged 10 and upwards, the book
encourages readers to think for themselves about the issues involved.
There is also a role-play activity asking readers to imagine themselves
in the situation of having to decide whether to leave their homes and
seek refuge in a new country. Part of the
groundbreaking and important 'And Other Big Questions' series, which
offers balanced and considered views on the big issues we face in the
world we live in today.
