In this powerful book, Nobel Peace Prize winner and New York Times
bestselling author Malala Yousafzai introduces the people behind the
statistics and news stories about the millions of people displaced
worldwide.
After her father was murdered, María escaped in the middle of the night
with her mother.
Zaynab was out of school for two years as she fled war before landing in
America. Her sister, Sabreen, survived a harrowing journey to Italy.
Ajida escaped horrific violence, but then found herself battling the
elements to keep her family safe.
Malala's experiences visiting refugee camps caused her to reconsider her
own displacement -- first as an Internally Displaced Person when she was
a young child in Pakistan, and then as an international activist who
could travel anywhere in the world except to the home she loved. In We
Are Displaced, Malala not only explores her own story, but she also
shares the personal stories of some of the incredible girls she has met
on her journeys -- girls who have lost their community, relatives, and
often the only world they've ever known.
In a time of immigration crises, war, and border conflicts, We Are
Displaced is an important reminder from one of the world's most
prominent young activists that every single one of the 68.5 million
currently displaced is a person -- often a young person -- with hopes
and dreams.
"A stirring and timely book." --New York Times
