New Book from Malala Yousafzai Tells Stories of Refugees

Out this week is a brand new book from Nobel Peace Prize winner and activisit Malala Yousafzai. The book is part memoir, part communal storytelling and charts her experience travelling the world and visiting refugee camps.

We Are Displaced was released on 8th January and is already reported to be selling well and on sale in many countries in the world already including the UK, US and India.

Her publishers said that Malala’s travels around the world and through refugee camps caused her to consider her own displacement, first as an internally displaced person then as an international activist who is able to travel the whole world, but cannot return to her homeland in Pakistan.

Malala is one of the most well known refugees of our time, entering the public’s consciousness when she was shot by the Taliban in Pakistan for wanting to go to school. In We Are Displaced, Malala uses her fame to bring attention to other refugees around the world, telling her story alongside the very personal stories of other refugees. A great deal of these displaced people are girls and women like her, and for many who have lost their homes, relatives and the only world they’ve ever known, their stories make for touching reading.

We Are Displaced is available in hardback and for Kindle and is expected to be released in paperback later this year.
