Our Take

Nguyen edited this collection of essays by refugee writers — each one a different country, a different loss, a different reckoning with the word home. The range is devastating: Cambodia, Bosnia, Iran, Vietnam. What unites them is the understanding that displacement is not an event but a permanent condition.
