This is mine.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen Debi Goodwin travelled to the Dadaab Refugee Camp in 2007 to shoot a documentary on young Somali refugees soon coming to Canada, she did not anticipate the impact the journey would have on her. A year later, in August of 2008, she decided to embark upon a new journey, starting in the overcrowded refugee camps in Kenya, and ending in university campuses across Canada. For a year, she recorded the lives of eleven very lucky refugee students who had received coveted scholarships from Canadian universities, guaranteeing them both a spot in the student body and permanent residency in Canada. We meet them in the overcrowded confines of a Kenyan refugee camp and track them all the way through a year of dramatic and sometimes traumatic adjustments to new life in a foreign country called Canada. This is a snapshot of a refugee's first year in Canada, in particular a snapshot of young men and women lucky and smart enough to earn their passage from refugee camp to Canadian campus.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Debi Goodwin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 038566723X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780385667234\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Anchor Canada\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/21\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 1.00d","brand":"Debi Goodwin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47087459762431,"sku":"9780385667234","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f8e262cf-e81d-4663-82bd-aa305e5809ec.jpg?v=1753849951","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/citizens-of-nowhere-debi-goodwin-9780385667234","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
