Through Kate Evans's firsthand report from the Calais Jungle we meet the refugees, get a vivid look at their living conditions, and witness the impressive resourcefulness of the volunteer operation that sprang up to help. Evans transforms the human 'flood' into shimmering droplets as she works and eats with the refugees, getting to know them as individuals, forging intimate connections while sketching their portraits. Evans both captures the wrenching reality of a seemingly intractable problem and makes an eloquent argument for its solution: open borders. --Alison Bechdel, author of Are You My Mother? and Fun Home <p/> Praise for Red Rosa <p/> Utterly brilliant. The best book I've read this year. --Steve Bell, Guardian <p/> Stunningly good. --Paul Mason, author of Postcapitalism <p/> Stands out as a way to do biography right. --Los Angeles Review of Books <p/> I admire it as an artist. I admire it as a writer. A huge achievement. --Molly Crabapple <p/> We could create a better world--peaceful, egalitarian, even joyful--if we are willing to learn from Red Rosa. --Barbara Ehrenreich
