Refugee Tales by David Herd
Seventy years after the adoption of the 1951 Refugee Convention, the UK is guilty of undermining the very principles of asylum, inhumanely detaining those seeking protection and ushering in sweeping changes that threaten to punish refugees at every turn. But the UK's immigration system is not alone in committing such breaches of human rights. The fourth volume of Refugee Tales explores our present international environment, combining author re-tellings with first-hand accounts of individuals who have been detained across the world. As the coronavirus pandemic defies borders--leaving those who are detained even more vulnerable--this collection shares stories spanning Canada, Greece, Italy, Switzerland, and the UK, and calls for international insistence on a future without detention. Featuring a prologue by Baroness Shami Chakrabarti.Mountains of the Mind, The Wild Places, The Ancient Ways, and Landmarks are four prize-winning works about landscape and the human heart by Robert Macfarlane. Harper's, Granta, The New Yorker, the Observer (London), the Times Literary Supplement (London), and the London Review of Books have all published his work. He is a fellow of Cambridge's Emmanuel College.
