This entry in a powerful series looks not only at what happens when a family flees their country to stay alive, but at the difficulties they encounter when the neighboring country, in this instance Ecuador, eventually pulls in the welcome sign. Not only did Andres' family have to flee Colombia, they left his older brother behind because he'd been conscripted by the rebel army. Eventually, the fear of returning was less than having to stay after being evicted from their apartment. Much of the book goes into detail about the frustrations Andres and his family experienced after returning and how his brother had to face hostility from former friends and neighbors after being released by the rebels. It's a sober and thoughtful look at a unique, but growing, refugee situation. ( ) ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
Belongs to SeriesLeaving My Homeland (Colombia)
Andre's family was resettled in Ecuador after rebels stormed their village in Colombia. Although they were safe, life wasn't easy and Andre's father had a hard time finding work. Suffering discrimination in their country of refuge, and with the situation improved in Colombia since the 2016 peace deal, his family makes the decision to return home. There, they work hard to regain their life and are reunited with a brother and son who had been taken by rebels. Readers get vital insight into how some refugees return to their homelands when--and if--it is safe to do so. No library descriptions found. |
