WHAT WE BROUGHT WITH US

In exile and migration  the things that forcibly displaced people take with them become mobile
testimonies of defiance  mourning  creativity  and rejuvenation. Through a series of scholarly
essays and autobiographical vignettes  this richly illustrated volume draws on such
observations to examine the meanings that possessions assume when they are wrenched from their
original contexts. The contributors to this collection shine an intimate spotlight on those who
are driven from their homes by conflict and forced into exile by authoritarian regimes. In so
doing  the contributors underscore the necessity for civil societies to support academic
freedom and the work done by critical thinkers worldwide.
