The Ungrateful Refugee by Dina Nayeri

In this book, Nayeri weaves together her own vivid story with the stories of other refugees and asylum seekers in recent years, bringing us inside their daily lives and taking us through the different stages of their journeys, from escape to asylum to resettlement. She settled in Oklahoma, then made her way to Princeton University. Eventually she was granted asylum in America. What is it like to be a refugee?
