It is a question many of us do not give much thought to, and yet there are more than twenty-five million refugees in the world. Aged eight, Dina Nayeri fled Iran along with her mother and brother and lived in the crumbling shell of an Italian hotel-turned-refugee camp. 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 this book, a couple falls in love over the phone, women gather to prepare 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 "the swarm," and, on the other hand, "good" 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. 538 $a Mode of access: World Wide Web. 600 10 $a Nayeri, Dina. 650 0 $a Refugees $v Biography. 651 0 $a Iran $x Refugees $v Biography. 700 1 $a Nayeri, Dina. 710 2 $a hoopla digital. 856 40 $u https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/12421843?utm_source=MARC $z Instantly available on hoopla. 856 42 $z Cover image $u https://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/dsa_9781974981779_180.jpeg 941 $a 1 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20191105015107.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=48DCCDA0FF9A11E9A2D37E2597128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
