Eventually she was granted asylum in America. She settled in Oklahoma, then made her way to Princeton University. In this book, Nayeri weaves together her own vivid story with the stories of other refugees and asylum seekers in recent years, bringing us inside their daily lives and taking us through the different stages of their journeys, from escape to asylum to resettlement. In these pages, a couple fall in love over the phone, and women gather to prepare the noodles that remind them of home. A closeted queer man tries to make his case truthfully as he seeks asylum, and a translator attempts to help new arrivals present their stories to officials. Nayeri confronts notions like âthe swarm,â and, on the other hand, âgoodâ immigrants. She calls attention to the harmful way in which Western governments privilege certain dangers over others. With surprising and provocative questions, The Ungrateful Refugee challenges us to rethink how we talk about the refugee crisis.--AMAZON. 600 10 $a Nayeri, Dina $x Childhood and youth. 650 0 $a Refugee children $z Iran. 650 0 $a Refugee children $x Social conditions. 650 7 $a Refugee children. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01092779 650 7 $a Refugee children $x Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01092792 651 7 $a Iran. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204889 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781786893475 941 $a 1 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20200208014314.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2944D75C4A4611EA96B3FA3397128E48 994 $a C0 $b JIDInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
