Flight and Freedom: Stories of Escape to Canada
By Ratna Omidvar and Dana Wagner
Between the Lines, 2015
Reviewed by Kathryn Teeluck
In Flight and Freedom, Ratna Omidvar and Dana Wagner give a human voice to what has become a political issue. An issue that has been lost in a barrage of incomprehensible statistics and photos of faceless crowds crammed into boats. They weave together a narrative of the common themes faced by many refugees. But the authors still maintain the distinctiveness and uniqueness of each individualâs experience.
