So Many Unavoidable Journeys (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781911587774)

In June 2024, the UN estimated that 122.6 million people around the world had been forced to flee their homes, which means that 1 in 67 human beings are experiencing this dreadful fate. But statistics don't take us far enough. So Many Unavoidable Journeys is a prose anthology containing memoir, reportage, family history, short stories, and a novel extract. Writing about travellers from Bhutan, Iraq, Eritrea, Iran, Bangladesh, Syria, Palestine and Russia, authors with personal knowledge help us understand how it feels to be compelled to migrate.
