Somewhere : stories of migration by women from around the world

Harvey, Lorna Jane, 1977- (editor.).

Summary: Written from twenty women's perspectives, this timely collection of stories about migration brings a refreshing and uniting voice to this compelling and trending topic. The implications of migration, especially for women, are often unknown, unheard, unspoken. From the fleeing refugee to the political and economic migrant, a broad range of migration by people of many cultures, ethnicities, and beliefs is shared in this book. Identity, belonging, assimilation and alienation are some of the key topics in this sometimes sad but also joyful book.
