American Refuge: True Stories of the Refugee Experience
"A moving and timely book that strips away misleading politics to reveal the complexities of real human lives. -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) A provocative, conversation-sparking exploration of refugee experiences told in their own words, for readers of Karla Cornejo Villavicencio's The Undocumented Americans and Viet Thanh Nguyen Forced to leave their homes, they came to America...
In this intimate and eye-opening book, Diya Abdo--daughter of refugees, U.S. immigrant, English professor, and activist--shares the stories of seven refugees.

Bookended by Diya's powerful essay Radical Hospitality and the inspiring coda "Names and Numbers," each chapter weaves the individual stories into a powerful journey along a common theme:
- Life Before ("The Body Leaves its Soul Behind")
- The Moment of Rupture ("Proof and Persecution")
- The Journey ("Right Next Door")
- Arrival/Resettlement ("Back to the Margins")
- A Few Years Later ("From Camp to Campus")
