Nadir

<p>There are 35 million child refugees in the world today; over a million children were born in flight, in exile, in camps. While a great deal has been written about the suffering of those who are fleeing persecution, displacement, hunger and war, in <i>Nadir </i>Laura Fusco attempts to record the voices of the refugees themselves, especially the women and the children.</p><p><i>Nadir </i>is a book about desert caravans, dangerous sea-crossings and desperate marches, about fences, camps, detention centres, squats and underpasses. It is a portrait of ‘a crowd of a hundred solitudes’, the wretched of the earth, the defeated who refuse to accept defeat. </p><p></p>
