FORCED TO LEAVE

 “Obligados a partir” | Laia de Ahumada & Cinta Fosh | Akiara, Spain | 88 pages | 16.5 x 23.5 cm

This illustrated book shows six stories from real life, six journeys full of difficulties and challenges. Six migrants, three women and three men, tell us about their lives before leaving; why they had to leave, how they managed to complete their journey, and how they live nowadays in their new country. These are stories of self-improvement, but also of pain, loneliness, hospitality, and integration. Stories that, despite everything, end well. These real-life accounts invite us to change our perspective, and to give a name and a face to the experience of so many people who are forced to risk their lives in the search for a more promising future.
