We are Dispalced - Malala Yousafzai

In “We are Displaced”, Malala Yousafzai - the youngest Nobel Peace Prize laureate - shares the experiences of 10 refugee girls from around the world, including her own story. Yousafzai is a female education and children’s rights activist whose story gained attention after she survived an assassination attempt in 2012 in Pakistan at the age of 15.

Malala has collected many of the stories in this book during her campaign for girls’ education. The stories come from different corners of the world - Yemen, Colombia, Congo, Myanmar, Guatemala, Syria, and Uganda - and each chapter starts with a brief introduction by Malala, providing some contextual information and helping to better situate girls’ accounts. The stories are very personal and intimate, allowing us to see beyond the political context and the stigma of being a refugee or asylum seeker. Each story invites us to ponder the trauma and effects of immigration and having to blend in a new environment. And each is a story of struggle but also of hope.

The proceeds from sales of the book go toward Malala Fund, which supports girls’ education in conflict areas.

In this powerful and emotional New York Times bestseller, Nobel Peace Prize winner and activist Malala Yousafzai shares various stories of displacement, including her own. Part memoir, part communal storytelling, We Are Displaced introduces readers to some of the incredible girls Malala has met on her many journeys and lets each tell her story – girls who have lost their community, relatives and often the only world they’ve ever known, but have not lost hope.

Longing for home and fear of an uncertain future binds all of these young women, but each is unique. In a time of immigration crises, war and border conflicts, We Are Displaced is an important reminder that every single one of the 79.5 million currently displaced is a person – often a young person – with dreams for a better, safer world.

Powerful and timely . . . While these accounts are equal parts poignant and harrowing, the lasting impression is of hope and resilience. Their stories are moving, empowering and astonishing, and demonstrate Malala's aim to give the message of strength and bravery.
