Most Read This Week In Immigration

[close] Welcome! In 2016, discussions about the refugee crisis among a group of friends and acquaintances gave wings to the creation of Hearts and Homes for Refugees (www.heartsandhomesforrefugees.org). With an unprecedented number of refugee stories populating bookshelves these days, there are so many more opportunities to learn, to understand the crisis and come to know these stories of need and hope. We can all contribute to these discussions and perhaps in some small way, our dialogue will flow outside our group chats and into our circle of friends and communities. Who knows where these seeds will land grow? We would like to believe that the more informed we are, the more discussions we have, the greater chance of our becoming part of the solution to the greatest humanitarian crisis of our time. In 2019, we read one book each month on the topic of refugees, and enjoyed talking about them here with you. We have added many more suggestions to our group "bookshelf" since then, and hope you will enjoy our recommendations.

[close] "For many people, myself included, books are one of the few places where we can safely challenge our own thinking, learned behavior, and ideologies..." — Justin Baldoni This "group," launched in 2014, is actually a constantly-updated reading list. Click Bookshelf to see the long list of topics. Everyone is welcome. People who identify as white and are rather new to thinking about racial justice are invited to start with the "Beginners" shelf. This group focuses on U.S. nonfiction. We also recommend Literary Fiction by People of Color, a longstanding Goodreads group. Curated by Faith Reidenbach, a queer white woman. Feel free to message me.
