OverviewOver the course of two years, a group of award-winning photographers, filmmakers, painters, and writers trailed and documented the flood of refugees pouring into the West from the Middle East and Africa, recording the refugees’ firsthand accounts of who they are and what made them refugees. Spare, haunting, utterly magnificent, and profoundly human, this inspiring collection creates a portrait of the greatest humanitarian crisis of modern history. From the pregnant mother in the dusty warehouse-turned-refugee-camp in Greece to the emaciated child in a mud-filled tent in Bangladesh to the lone Sudanese crouched under an overpass in Italy—the people inside this remarkable volume of exquisite photography and stories of resilience will teach you that the surest way to draw humans together begins with the words “I want to tell you my story . . .” Full Product DetailsAuthor: Their Story Is Our Story , Elizabeth Benson Thayer , Nathanael Read , Lindsay Allen SilsbyPublisher: Familius LLC Imprint: Familius LLC Dimensions: Width: 20.60cm , Height: 2.60cm , Length: 26.00cm Weight: 1.160kg ISBN: 9781641700498ISBN 10: 1641700491 Pages: 232 Publication Date: 01 October 2018 Audience: College/higher education , Professional and scholarly , General/trade , Tertiary & Higher Education , Professional & Vocational Format: Hardback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: In Print  This item will be ordered in for you from one of our suppliers.
