Review
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.
***
In her powerful new book, Nobel Peace Prize winner andNew York Times-bestselling authorMalala Yousafzaiintroduces some of the people behind the statistics and news stories about the millions of people displaced worldwide.
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, which is part memoir, part communal storytelling, 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.

Notă biografică
Malala
Yousafzaiis
a
cofounder
and
board
member
of
Malala
Fund.
Malala
began
her
campaign
for
education
at
age
eleven,
when
she
anonymously
blogged
for
BBC
Urdu
about
life
under
the
Taliban
in
Pakistan's
Swat
Valley.
Inspired
by
her
father's
activism,
Malala
soon
began
advocating
publicly
for
girls'
education,
attracting
international
media
attention
and
awards.
At
age
fifteen,
she
was
attacked
by
the
Taliban
for
speaking
out.
Malala
recovered
in
the
United
Kingdom
and
continued
her
fight
for
girls.
In
2013,
she
founded
Malala
Fund
with
her
father,
Ziauddin.
A
year
later,
Malala
received
the
Nobel
Peace
Prize
in
recognition
of
her
efforts
to
see
every
girl
complete
twelve
years
of
free,
safe,
and
quality
education.
She
is
currently
a
student
at
Oxford
University,
pursuing
a
degree
in
philosophy,
politics,
and
economics.
Recenzii
Nobel
Peace
Prize
winner
Yousafzai,
who
famously
survived
being
shot
by
Taliban
soldiers
as
a
teen
in
2012,
is
a
passionate
activist
for
girls'
right
to
education.
Yet,
in
this
profound
volume,
she
sidesteps
those
aspects
of
her
life
to
illuminate
another
experience:
displacement
-
beginning
with
her
family's
forced
2009
evacuation
of
their
Pakistani
hometown
in
response
to
escalating
Taliban
violence.
Comprising
the
bulk
of
the
book
are
urgent,
articulate
first-person
stories
from
displaced
or
refugee
young
women
whom
Yousafzai
has
encountered
in
her
travels,
whose
birthplaces
include
Colombia,
Guatemala,
Syria
and
Yemen.
...
The
contributors'
strength,
resilience,
and
hope
in
the
face
of
trauma
is
astounding,
and
their
stories'
underlying
message
about
the
heartbreaking
loss
of
their
former
lives
and
homelands
(and
the
resulting
"tangle
of
emotions
that
comes
with
leaving
behind
everything
you
know")
is
profoundly
moving.—Publishers
Weekly
"A stirring and timely book that strips the political baggage from the words 'migrant' and 'refugee,' telling the deeply personal stories of displacement and disruption that were lived by Yousafzai and nine other girls. ... [In] all these accounts, hope emerges as a kind of belligerent reaction to pain and loss."—The New York Times Book Review

Descriere

In this powerful and emotional New York Times bestseller, Nobel Peace Prize winner and activist Malala Yousafzai shares various stories of displacement, including her own.

Longing for home and fear of an uncertain future binds all of these young women, but each is unique. In a time of immigration crises, war and border conflicts, We Are Displaced is an important reminder that every single one of the 79.5 million currently displaced is a person - often a young person - with dreams for a better, safer world.
