The Displaced

In The Displaced, Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Viet Thanh Nguyen gathers a remarkable collection of essays from notable refugee authors to examine the profound impact of displacement. Following the 2017 executive order restricting entry to the U.S. from predominantly Muslim countries, these voices illuminate the struggles and resilience of refugees, providing a poignant critique of societal attitudes towards those forced to leave their homes. Through personal narratives and reflections, the book sheds light on the powerful narratives of finding refuge and the experiences of being uprooted.
