Where The Water Ends : Seeking Refuge In Fortress Europe
Paperback Edition: 1
Around the world, forced migration doubled in the decade leading up to 2019. Over that time, the borders of the European Union became the worlds deadliest frontier.
More than 20,000 people have died or disappeared while attempting to gain entry since 2012, the year the EU was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
In Where the Water Ends, Zoe Holman traces the story of this frontier from the perspective of migrants, mainly from the Middle East, via Greece, the cradle of European and Western civilisation, now itself marginalised within the EU and precariously hosting some 90,000 refugees.
This is human history in the best sense. Through Holman's account we see the intricate and complex daily, monthly and yearly challenges of those seeking, within or outside of the system, a future for themselves and their loved ones in which they can be safe and thrive.
