许多关于难民的书都关注他们的创伤、损失和受害者身份。难民往往被视为寻求庇护国家的政府和社会服务机构的问题。这本独特的书呈现了截然不同的观点。《政治难民》将生存主题与政治和心理学结合起来,通过案例研究和阿明·达内什自己的生活故事,讲述了一些伊朗政治难民的故事。达内什有30多年的工作经验,与那些从创伤中幸存下来的难民一起工作,他们继续为自己内心深处的事业而工作。在场的所有难民都参与了政治活动,因此遭受了苦难。然而,在他们的新祖国,他们不仅生存了下来,而且获得了重生,创造了新的机会。
这本书展示了人们在危机中改变自己的能力。所讲述的故事对研究或与难民合作的组织或个人,或任何遭受极端逆境的人来说,都是非常宝贵的。
Political Refugees: A New Perspective
Many books about refugees focus on their trauma, loss, and victimhood. Refugees are often regarded as problems for governments and social services in the countries where they seek asylum. This unique book presents a very different view. Coupling existential themes with politics and psychology, Political Refugees tells the story of a number of Iranian political refugees, through case studies and through Armin Danesh’s own life story. Danesh has more than three decades of experience of working with refugees who have survived trauma and who continue to work for the causes close to their hearts. All the refugees presented here were politically engaged and suffered as a consequence. In their new home country, however, they not only survived but were reborn and forged new opportunities.
The book demonstrates people’s capacity to transform themselves through crisis. The stories told will be invaluable for organizations or individuals who study or work with refugees or anyone who has suffered extreme adversity.
