  • A Reading List for Refugee Week 2020
    Living in Limbo: a reading list for Refugee Week 2020 Cover illustration: 'LandEscape' created by Jal Kong age 15 from South Sudan, currently living in Kakuma refugee camp. Contents Fiction for Younger Readers ...................................................................................................... 2 Fiction for Young Adults ............................................................................................................. 7 Adult Fiction ............................................................................................................................. 12 Non-Fiction ............................................................................................................................... 16 1 | P a g e Fiction for Younger Readers Nadine Dreams of Home by Bernard Ashley Age recommendation 7+ A touching yet serious story with an ultimately uplifting ending. Nadine doesn't like her new life. She doesn't speak the language, she can't understand what's going on, and more than anything, it's just not home. Especially since her father isn't here with them in the UK. But it just wasn't safe in Goma anymore, not with the uprising and the violence of the rebel soldiers. So, Nadine tries to find something in her new life that will remind her of the happy memories of Africa. Particularly suitable for struggling, reluctant and dyslexic readers aged 7+ Give Me Shelter edited by Tony Bradman Age recommendation 9+ The phrase 'asylum-seeker' is one we see in the media all the time. It stimulates fierce and controversial debate, in arguments about migration, race and religion. The movement of people from poor or struggling countries to those where there may be opportunities for a better life is a constant in human history, but it is something with particular relevance in our own time. This collection of short stories shows us people who have been forced to leave their homes or families to seek help and shelter elsewhere.

Recently-Published Recommended Books by and/or about the AAPI Community Arranged by Age Published from 2015 to early 2021 May 2021 Background A month ago, we formed a subcommittee to produce a short list of recommended books, from our Best Books List archives, centered on AAPI characters, authors, and illustrators. This was in direct response to spikes in unprovoked anti-Asian violence in the past year. That process sparked many debates over which ones to include. After that experience, the subcommittee returned to our archives for a closer inspection. We wanted to create a larger resource for readers from infancy to age 18.We also wanted to be able to deliver it within a reasonable timeframe, so here is how we created the list you see below. Methodology 1. First, we combed our recent Best Books list (BBL) archives for books that we have recommended, from our most recently published list (2020) back to the 2016 edition (meaning, books published from 2015 to 2019).

  • A Mid-March Haggadah
    COLOMBIA SOLIDARITY SEDER HAGGADDAH Letter to those about to begin a Seder in Solidarity with Colombia. Dear Brothers and Sisters, For me it is an honor and a great pleasure for us to be strengthening ties of friendship, solidarity and social commitment to work together for the resistance and sovereignty of the people. Thank you so much for sharing with us this moment in which food converts into symbols, representing the process that we put forward to continue walking together. We will be holding a Seder April 7th from 4-7PM, and it’s good to know that on an international level we will be able to gather, unite, and strengthen each other spiritually. The Seder is a space to share the historic memory of one people with another, which is important in order to not forget what has happened. If one does not know of the past, how can one resolve the present or future? That’s what memory is for. And history is not something dead on the pages of a book, but rather something alive, something living within ourselves. And we must tell it, show it. Just like with art...if I know how to sing but don’t sing, how do I show who I am? Thus memory is something that preserves one’s identity, and also serves to feed movements of resistance. It gives us knowledge, and with that information we can deepen our studies, and begin to understand another reality—the reality that the people live, but which isn’t published— and with that we are able to build a resistance.

  • Ep. 91 | Fight Like a Girl
    Ep. 91 | Fight Like a Girl [00:00:10] Kendra Hello, I'm Kendra Winchester, here with Sumaiyya Naseem. And this is Reading Women, a podcast inviting you to reclaim half the bookshelf by discussing books written by or about women. And this is episode 91, where we're talking about books around this month's theme, which is "Fight Like a Girl." [00:00:28] Sumaiyya You can find a complete transcript and a list of all the books mentioned today linked in our show notes. And don't forget to subscribe, so you don't miss a single episode. [00:00:39] Kendra So before we get started on this month's theme, we have some news. So last month in June, we delayed Reading Women Month out of respect for the protests that were happening all over the country and all over the world. And we really wanted to focus on raising awareness for Black Lives Matter and and supporting that in the best way that we could with our social media and different outlets. So we delayed Reading Women Month, and we started that up in late June instead of the beginning of June, which is when we typically do it. So because of that, we have extended our festivities into July, actually probably through the end of July. So you can still find Reading Women Month Bingo, all of our new merch, and the sale has been extended over in our Reading Women Store. [00:01:27] Sumaiyya And I think we have some new merch, right? [00:01:29] Kendra Yes.

  • Displaced in Cities Experiencing and Responding to Urban Internal Displacement Outside Camps
    DISPLACED IN CITIES EXPERIENCING AND RESPONDING TO URBAN INTERNAL DISPLACEMENT OUTSIDE CAMPS REFERENCE DISPLACED IN CITIES EXPERIENCING AND RESPONDING TO URBAN INTERNAL DISPLACEMENT OUTSIDE CAMPS About this report This research is the fruit of a joint project between the divisions of protection and of policy and humanitarian diplomacy at the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), with significant support from the organization’s economic security and water and habitat units and ICRC delegations across the world. It received some financial sup- port from the Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs through its Human Security Division. This report was written by Catherine-Lune Grayson, policy adviser, and Angela Cotroneo, global adviser on internal displacement, who also co-led the project. We benefited from the precious assistance of field colleagues in Honduras, Iraq, Nigeria and Somalia, without whom the case studies would not have been possible. We are immensely grate- ful to the persons we met during the case studies – to displaced persons and host community members for their trust and for sharing their experiences with us, and to the representatives of authorities and other organizations for sharing their perspec- tives on the response to displacement. We are also thankful to many of our colleagues who agreed to engage in this critical reflection with us, who shared their insights and provided feedback on the draft of the report. Finally, Nadine Walicki’s support, as an independent consultant, was invaluable. She not only conducted the literature review, but also shared her remarkable knowledge and critical perspective with us. The study was also reviewed by an external advisory committee composed of practi- tioners and experts.
