This is a collection of photographs and interviews with refugees, who have made their home in Oxford after leaving their countries due to persecution. Some have been here for a few weeks, some for more than 50 years. Many have made huge contributions to our society as doctors and philosophers, students, businesspeople, artists and teachers. These are extraordinary stories of courage, endurance and humour. "This is not a book about how refugees are human beings just like the rest of us. Most of them have experiences the rest of cannot even begin to comprehend. It is a book about how some extraordinary people become an important part of who we all are." - Mark Haddon.
