We are displaced [large print] : my journey and stories from refugee girls around the world / by Yousafzai, Malala,1997-author.(CARDINAL)610109; Welch, Liz,1969-author.(CARDINAL)354184;
Nobel Peace Prize winer Malala Yousafzai's experiences visiting refugee camps led her to reconsider her own displacement--first as an internally displaced person in Pakistan, and then as an activist who could travel anywhere in the world except to the home she loved. In "We Are Displaced," which is part memoir, part communal storytelling, Malala shares her own story as well as those of some of the incredible young women she has met on her various journeys. This compelling read is an important reminder from one of the world's most prominent young activists that every one of the 68.5 million currently dispaced is a person--often a young person--with hope and dreams, and that everyone deserves a safe home.Accelerated Reader AR

No ocean too wide [large print] : a novel / by Turansky, Carrie,author.(CARDINAL)356746;
Between the years of 1869 to 1939 more than one hundred thousand impoverished British children were sent across the ocean to Canada with the promise of a better life. Those who took them in to work as farm laborers or household servants were told they were orphans -- but was that the truth? After the tragic loss of their father, the McAlister family at the edge of the poorhouse in London in 1909, leaving their mother to scrape by for her three younger children, while the oldest daughter, Laura, works on a large estate more than an hour away. When their mother falls gravely ill and is hospitalized, twins Katie and Garth and seven-year-old Grace are forced into an orphans' home before Laura is notified about her family's situation. With British children being sent to Canada, whether truly orphans or not, Laura knows she must act quickly. But finding her siblings and taking care of her family may cost her everything. Andrew Frasier, a wealthy young British lawyer and heir to the estate where Laura is in service, discovers that this common practice of finding new homes for penniless children might not be all that it seems. Together Laura and Andrew form an unlikely partnership.

Slavery and forced migration in the antebellum South / by Pargas, Damian Alan,author.(CARDINAL)304393;
"American slavery in the antebellum period was characterized by a massive wave of forced migration as millions of slaves were moved across state lines to the expanding southwest, scattered locally, and sold or hired out in towns and cities across the south. This book sheds new light on domestic forced migration by examining the experiences of American-born slave migrants from a comparative perspective. Juxtaposing and contrasting the experiences of long-distance, local, and urban slave migrants, it analyzes how different migrant groups anticipated, reacted to, and experienced forced removal, as well as how they adapted to their new homes"--Includes bibliographical references (pages 261-276) and index.Introduction -- Part I.

The rocks will echo our sorrow / by Labba, Elin Anna,1980-author.(CARDINAL)889885; Graham, Fiona(Translator of Swedish),translator.(CARDINAL)351786;

Through stories, photographs, letters, and joik lyrics, she gathers a chorus of Sámi expression that resonates across the years, evoking the nomadic life they were required to abandon and the immense hardship they endured"-- "The deep and personal story-told through history, poetry, and images-of the forced displacement of the Sámi people from their homeland in northern Norway and Sweden and its reverberations today More than a hundred years have passed since the Sámi were forcibly displaced from their homes in northern Norway and Sweden, a hundred years since Elin Anna Labba's ancestors and relations drove their reindeer over the strait to the mainland for the last time. The place where they lived has remained empty ever since. We carry our homes in our hearts, Labba shares, citing the Sámi poet Áillohaš. How do you bear that weight if you were forced to leave? In a remarkable blend of historical reportage, memoir, and lyrical reimagining, Labba travels to the lost homeland of her ancestors to tell of the forced removal of the Sámi in the early twentieth century and to reclaim a place in history, and in today's world, for these Indigenous people of northern Scandinavia. When Norway became a country independent from Sweden in 1905, the two nations came to an agreement that called for the displacement of the Northern Sámi, who spent summers on the Norwegian coast and winters in Sweden. This "dislocation," as the authorities called it, gave rise to a new word in Sámi language, bággojohtin, forced displacement. The first of the sirdolaččat, or "the displaced," left their homes fully believing they would soon return. Through stories, photographs, letters, and joik lyrics, Labba gathers a chorus of Sámi expression that resonates across the years, evoking the nomadic life they were required to abandon and the immense hardship and challenges they endured: children left behind with relatives, reindeer lost when they returned to familiar territory, sorrow and estrangement that linger through generations. Starkly poetic and emotionally heart-wrenching, this dark history is told through the voices of the sirdolaččat, echoing the displacements of other Indigenous people around the world as it depicts the singular experience of the Northern Sámi. For her extraordinary work, Labba was awarded Sweden's most important national book prize in 2020, the August Prize for Best Nonfiction. "--
