La periodista de TVE Yolanda Álvarez, junto al reportero gráfico Joaquín Relaño, vivieron en el verano de 2019 una odisea junto a decenas de personas ansiosas por alcanzar las costas de Europa.

This riveting collection of true stories from Dr. Martina Scholtens is filled with hope and humor, and together make up a deeply moving portrait of how one doctor attempts to provide quality care and advocacy for patients while remaining culturally sensitive, even as she wrestles with guilt, awareness of her own privilege, the faith she was raised with, and vicarious trauma after hearing countless stories of suffering. Based on her experiences, Scholtens’ writing explores the transformative moments in which a doctor-patient relationship becomes a human-human connection.

In an era when immigration on a global scale defines the fears and aspirations of Americans, Crossing Borders presents the complexities of migration through the stories of families fleeing violence and poverty, the government and nongovernmental organizations helping or hindering their progress, and the American communities receiving them. Ali Noorani takes listeners on a journey to Honduras, Ciudad Juarez in Mexico, and Texas, meeting migrants and the organizations and people that help them on both sides of the border.

Migrare significa volare via e scegliere, come fanno gli uccelli, un posto migliore, o che pensiamo tale. Francesca Paci, in ogni puntata, racconterà una storia di spostamento, di cambiamento di posizione, la storia di chi sceglie un altro luogo fisico, ma anche mentale. Buon viaggio.

The inspiring true story of one man’s treacherous boyhood journey from a rural village in Ghana to the streets of Barcelona - and the path that led him home.

Deeply informed by archival research and current scholarship, but written as a reflective and intimate memoir, What the Oceans Remember addresses current issues in migration, identity, belonging and history through an interrogation of race, ethnicity, gender, archives and memory. More importantly, it addresses the relevance of our past to understanding our present. It shows the multiplicity of identities and origins that can shape the way we understand our histories and our own selves.

Refugee High is a riveting chronicle of the 2017-18 school year at Sullivan High, a time when anti-immigrant rhetoric was at its height in the White House. Even as we follow teachers and administrators grappling with the everyday challenges facing many urban schools, we witness the complicated circumstances and unique education needs of refugee and immigrant children: Alejandro may be deported just days before he is scheduled to graduate; Shahina narrowly escapes an arranged marriage; and Esengo is shot at the beginning of the school year.

Cuando Helena Maleno llegó a Marruecos en 2002 con su hijo, dos maletas y un proyecto laboral de tres meses no podía imaginar hasta qué punto aquel país y la lucha por los derechos de las poblaciones migrantes que lo atravesaban transformarían su vida para siempre. Ya instalada en Tánger de forma definitiva, Helena se adentró en los asentamientos provisionales de los bosques que rodean Ceuta y Melilla y empezó a denunciar sin descanso las violaciones de derechos de aquellos que buscan cruzar, por tierra o por mar, una frontera que les permita alcanzar Europa.

The Constructed Mennonite is a unique account of a life shaped by Stalinism, Nazism, migration, famine, and war. It investigates the tenuous spaces where individual experiences inform and become public history; it studies the ways in which memory shapes identity, and reveals how context and audience shape autobiographical narratives.

For six months, Army Captain Matt C. Pinsker was deployed to the Mexican-American border as a member of a unique mission. He and a handful of others were assigned to the Department of Justice as special prosecutors to handle the increasing number of immigration cases resulting from President Trump's "zero tolerance" policy. Once arrived, Captain Pinsker found himself dead center handling the near-impossible challenges of America's immigration crisis.

Dawit Gebremichael Habte fled his homeland of Eritrea as a teenager. In the midst of the ongoing Eritrean-Ethiopian war, Dawit and his sisters crossed illegally into Kenya. Without their parents or documents to help their passage, they experienced the abuse and neglect known by so many refugees around the world. But he refused to give up. He stayed resilient and positive. Journeying to the United States under asylum - and still a boy - he found a new purpose in an unfamiliar land.

Out of a harrowing childhood in the Philippines, Cinelle Barnes emerged triumphant. But as an undocumented teenager living in New York, her journey of self-discovery was just beginning.

In The Great Great Wall, architectural historian and critic Ian Volner takes a deep dive into the story of Donald Trump’s wall. Volner follows the conception, selling, design, and construction (or lack thereof) of this expensive and consequential barrier, giving listeners a detailed description of what’s happening in Washington, DC - and along the border. He also travels far afield, to China, the Middle East, northern England, and back to our border to examine the barriers we’ve been building for centuries.

Enfant de l'immigration, Lydia Guirous, n'a pas eu de difficulté à s'intégrer. La France, elle l'aime. Trop peut-être ? Au point de déranger ceux qui voudraient qu'elle la rejette ? À mi-chemin entre le manifeste et le témoignage, l'auteur pointe la dangereuse dérive d'une France qui a honte de ses valeurs, de son histoire et abdique face à la montée du communautarisme et de l'islam radical.

Feminisme i identitat. Un assaig valent i necessari. Poques veus tenen tanta autoritat per parlar de feminisme i identitat com Najat El Hachmi. Més enllà de la seva condició d’immigrant i de filla de família musulmana marroquina, el seu món narratiu és un món de dones. Amb aquest coneixement de primera mà, s’ha format una opinió sobre el que suposa ser feminista avui dia. Per això ha escrit aquest assaig que ara ens narra ella mateixa en audiollibre, per exposar el seu punt de vista i denunciar les múltiples trampes i formes de discriminació que pateixen les dones.

The Plot to Change America exposes the myths that help identity politics perpetuate itself. This book reveals what has really happened, explains why it is urgent to change course, and offers a strategy to do so. Though we should not fool ourselves into thinking that it will be easy to eliminate identity politics, we should not overthink it, either. Identity politics relies on the creation of groups and then on giving people incentives to adhere to them. If we eliminate group making and the enticements, we can get rid of identity politics.
