Publisher Description
In this powerful and emotional New York Times bestseller, Nobel Peace Prize winner and activist Malala Yousafzai shares various stories of displacement, including her own. Part memoir, part communal storytelling, We Are Displaced introduces readers to some of the incredible girls Malala has met on her many journeys and lets each tell her story - girls who have lost their community, relatives and often the only world they've ever known, but have not lost hope.
Longing for home and fear of an uncertain future binds all of these young women, but each is unique. In a time of immigration crises, war and border conflicts, We Are Displaced is an important reminder that every single one of the 79.5 million currently displaced is a person - often a young person - with dreams for a better, safer world.
Includes a new Afterword by the author
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Global icon Malala Yousafzai collects the oral histories of displaced people around the world, making the refugee experience utterly personal. It’s no surprise that Malala—the youngest person to ever win a Nobel Peace Prize for her work on education rights—shines a light on the experiences of women and girls in particular, zeroing in on specifics that bring their stories into sharp relief and leave a lasting impact. While there are similarities in what the individuals profiled have left behind, it’s the things that set them apart—described with Malala’s signature frankness and compassion—that make We Are Displaced so memorable.
