'With the utmost respect, empathy, and compassion using the art of storytelling and stimulating research Dr. Dada offers an intellectual and heartfelt captivating and critical examination of a vital intersection that the international community, disability advocates and governments which have ratified the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities or pledge to uphold human rights, must take serious note of. This passionate book incites a moral courage to recognize where commitments to refugees and people seeking asylum, as well as responsibilities to the disability community, are falling short and calls upon the promise that is Canada, to do better. Furthermore, this masterpiece inspires a more profound and equitable approach to the social and human rights model of disability inclusion. If anything it is a guide to better serve humanity in all its diversity.'
Cara E. Yar Khan, Disability advocate and United Nations humanitarian

'Sukaina Dada is a much-needed new voice on disability and migration. She has shown us the incredible power of story telling, bringing to life the diverse and complex stories of Syrian refugees and in doing so she reminds us of our shared humanity and social responsibility for populations marginalized through racism, disablement, and migration. This book should be read by anyone who is trying to change how we understand and respond to the global migrant crisis.'
Professor Marina Morrow, Critical Disability Studies, York University
