It is not an easy road—but hope is the oxygen of my life. These insightful words of Meron Semedar, a refugee from Eritrea, reflect the feelings of the eleven men and women featured in this book. These refugees share their extraordinary experiences of fleeing oppression, violence and war in their home countries in search of a better life in the United States. Each chapter of Refugees in America focuses on an individual from a different country, from a 93-year-old Polish grandmother who came to the United States after surviving the horrors of Auschwitz to a young undocumented immigrant from El Salvador who became an American college graduate, despite being born impoverished and blind. Some have found it easy to reinvent themselves in the United States, while others have struggled to adjust to America, with its new culture, language, prejudices, and norms. Each of them speaks candidly about their experiences to author Lee T. Bycel, who provides illuminating background information on the refugee crises in their native countries. Their stories help reveal the real people at the center of political debates about US immigration. Giving a voice to refugees from such far-flung locations as South Sudan, Guatemala, Syria, and Vietnam, this book weaves together a rich tapestry of human resilience, suffering, and determination. Profits from the sale of this book will be donated to two organizations that are doing excellent refugee resettlement work and offer many opportunities to support refugees: HIAS (founded as the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society) hias.org International Rescue Committee (IRC) rescue.org

Depuis la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, les Droits de l'homme ont profondément transformé le droit d'asile. Conçu jusque-là comme un droit de l'État souverain d'accorder, sur son territoire, sa protection à qui il le souhaitait, il s'affirme désormais comme un " droit à l'asile ". Même si, en Europe, il relève de l'Union européenne, la souveraineté des États sur leur territoire n'en reste pas moins préservée. Il en résulte une tension fondamentale d'un droit qui est à la fois un droit de l'État et un droit de l'individu. Ce sont ces dynamiques et ces tensions que Catherine Teitgen-Colly s'attache à comprendre, en retraçant l'histoire du droit d'asile et en analysant les diverses modalités de sa mise en œuvre, mais aussi les interrogations qu'il suscite aujourd'hui. Elle n'ignore ni l'ampleur des débats qu'il provoque ni le défi qu'il incombe à l'Union européenne de relever pour le garantir. -- Résumé de l'éditeur.
