Aged eight, Dina Nayeri fled Iran along with her mother and brother, and
lived in the crumbling shell of an Italian hotel-turned-refugee camp.
Eventually she was granted asylum in America. Now, Nayeri weaves
together her own vivid story with those of other asylum seekers in
recent years.
In these pages, women gather to prepare the
noodles that remind them of home, a closeted queer man tries to make his
case truthfully as he seeks asylum and a translator attempts to help
new arrivals present their stories to officials. Surprising and
provocative, The Ungrateful Refugee recalibrates the conversation around
the refugee experience. Here are the real human stories of what it is
like to be forced to flee your home, and to journey across borders in
the hope of starting afresh.
