Articles liés à Integra: Stories of Home and Displacement
Synopsis
Integra, a Latin word, means 'something which is whole.' Integra explores home, place and travel as inner and outer experiences. What kind of home do we want to create and where and how will we create it? Why do we travel, and why do we return home? Exploringthose who travel by choice and those displaced through global struggle, Integra takes a compassionate look at our deeply human needs and examines a system which does not honour our basic humanity. It spans the author's own travels beginning at age eight, and woven throughout are: tales of the travelling hipsies of England and Ireland; refugees around the world; a young woman finding home in the LGBT community. We travel from Bangui to Kinshasa on diplomatic work, into the village birthing houses in the Ivory Coast and Kenya; to Jordan and Palestine and Little Tibet; to the detention centres on the periphery of Europe; and across the Sahara desert with Amanuel who fled his country. This book, like Antoine Cassar’s 'Passport', is ‘Valid for all peoples’. Combining academic discourse and lived experiences of displacement, Integra is both a personal and a collective journey. Part memoir, a recollection of the author's travels and those of her interviewees, and part political narrative. Integra was written in response to the depersonalisation of people fleeing persecution - reflecting on home, place and travel throughout the world as these definitions change, transform or are torn apart. The dedication page reads as such:
