Description
"Asylum Speakers is truly an anthology of humanity. It's a reminder of how much we all have in common and that each of us has an equal right to be safe." - Josie Naughton, founder of Choose Love
Based on the popular podcast, Asylum Speakers is a collection of 31 stories of migration, from those leaving everything they know behind them, to those working alongside them.
Here are the voices that often go unheard: the humans behind the statistics and the headlines. From Syria to Venezuela, Eritrea to Afghanistan, Asylum Speakers will transcend borders, nationalities, religions and languages, connecting you to the people with whom we share this world.
"These stories are raw, powerful, intimate, at times hard to read but always full of humanity. Reading this book gives me hope." - Giles Duley, CEO of Legacy of War Foundation

READ THIS BOOK!
What a fantastic overview of global human rights!
A touching tribute to so many different heroes that have had to flee their own countries but are committed to making the world safer for others. Jaz O'Hara is the podcast host of Asylum Speakers and this book is a collection of many of the stories of refugees she has interacted with or been inspired by. The book is put together beautifully with multiple pictures of the asylum seekers and sometimes the camps or cities they had to flee. Each story is it's own odyssey. What is most poignant is that all of the interviewees want to return to their war torn countries to help.
I can't say enough about this work of art and look forward to sharing with many many people. Look up the podcast, sign up on the website and purchase this book for yourself or a friend (in my case, my school). Thank you JAZ!

YES! Omg I am so happy to have gotten NetGalley access to this one because of my love for collected stories, especially from those seeking refuge and asylum and this is just so memorable and important for these narratives to be told.
