It stimulates fierce and controversial debate in arguments about migration, race, and religion. The movement of people from poor or struggling countries to those where there may be opportunities for a better life has been a constant in human history, but it is something with particular relevance in this time of wide-scale political and social upheaval. Featuring stories from youth based in trouble spots around the world &#8212; including Kosovo, Ethiopia, Vietnam, Eritrea, Zaire, Sudan, Somalia, Iraq, Zimbabwe, and Kurdistan &#8212; this collection of stories spotlights people who have been forced to leave their homes or families to seek help and shelter elsewhere. This book has no political axe to grind, simply recording the truth of these children&#8217;s stories without assigning blame. Some are about young people traveling to other countries; others are concerned with young ones left behind when parents are forced to flee. These are stories about physical and emotional suffering but also about humanity &#8212; of both those who endure unimaginable hardship and those who help them.</div> 2145687 11 6 2007 Give Me Shelter: Stories About Children Who Seek Asylum total:3|5:1|4:1|3:1|2:0|1:0| 3 12 7 2 4 0 false false Thu Aug 14 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sun Aug 10 09:26:20 -0700 2008 Sun Aug 24 13:18:23 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Wed Oct 15 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu Oct 30 10:40:29 -0700 2008 Thu Oct 30 10:50:00 -0700 2008 1 more...]]> 3 0 false false Fri Nov 06 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 06 11:46:48 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 06 11:46:54 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Fri Jul 24 08:37:05 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 24 08:37:17 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Jan 11 08:51:02 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 11 08:51:05 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Fri Nov 14 13:41:16 -0800 2008 Fri Nov 14 13:41:24 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Mon Nov 05 12:17:07 -0800 2007 Mon Nov 05 12:17:16 -0800 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=2140199
