Description

WHAT WOULD YOU DO TO SURVIVE? What sacrifices would you endure for a better life? Would you swim a vast river? Would you trek across a desert or float through a malarial rainforest?

How about breaking out of a slave plantation? Boarding aleaky ship? Escaping a siege?Outlanders is a compilation of ten real-life stories from refugees and asylum seekers, whom the author met while working in the field of refugee resettlement in the US and Ireland.

They are old people and young, recently arrived and well established, originating from Afghanistan, Burma, Laos, Somalia, Iraq, South Africa, Bosnia and Palestine.

Outlanders is the first work of its kind to explore the subject from a creative perspective, setting it apart from previous journalistic work available on thesubject.

The stories are presented in a style that immerses the reader in the journey of the refugee, the sights, smells, sounds they experienced, how it felt along the way.

These unique individual narratives are bound together by recurring themes: dailylife, the eruption of conflict and the privations endured to escape it.

Outlanders offers a glimpse into the lives of the displaced, not through screen or newsfeed, but through the very eyes of those who survived.
