Chamoiseau, Patrick,
Migrant brothers : a poet's declaration of human dignity Patrick Chamoiseau; translated by Matthew Amos and Fredrik Rönnbäck. - New Haven and London: Yale University Press, 2018. - xviii, 120 pages : illustration ; 18 cm
As migrants embark on perilous journeys across oceans and deserts in pursuit of sanctuary and improved living conditions, what is the responsibility of those safely ensconced in the nations they seek to enter? Moved by repeated tragedies among immigrants attempting to enter eastern and southern Europe, Patrick Chamoiseau assails the hypocrisy and detachment that allow these events to happen. Migrant Brothers is an urgent declaration of our essential interconnectedness that asserts the necessity to understand one another as part of one human community, regardless of national origin.
Patrick Chamoiseau is the author of Texaco and Solibo Magnificent and winner of the Prix Goncourt, among many other prizes. He lives in Martinique.
