Liminal - Laura Fusco

There are nearly 70 million refugees on the planettoday, civilians forcibly displaced from their homes by war, famine, povertyand climate change. Most of these have found sanctuary in neighbouringcountries. A few have made desperate journeys from Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan andNorth Africa to Europe, where they have met the kindness of strangers as wellas the anti-immigrant rhetoric of opportunist and neo-Fascist politicians.
Liminal is an attempt by the poet and activist LauraFusco to record the voices of the refugees themselves, especially the women shehas met in camps in France and in Italy. It's a scrapbook of stories, graffitiand placards, songs of exile and songs against exile. It's a book about displacementand despair, about learning to live outside time and between borders, statelessand homeless, invisible and unheard, marginal - liminal.
