Seventy years after the adoption of the 1951 Refugee Convention, the UK is guilty of undermining the very principles of asylum, inhumanely detaining those seeking protection and ushering in sweeping changes that threaten to punish refugees at every turn. But the UK’s immigration system is not alone in committing such breaches of human rights. The fourth volume of Refugee Tales explores our present international environment, combining author re-tellings with first-hand accounts of individuals who have been detained across the world. As the coronavirus pandemic defies borders – leaving those who are detained even more vulnerable – this collection shares stories spanning Canada, Greece, Italy, Switzerland and the UK, and calls for international insistence on a future without detention. Edited by Anna Pincus & David Herd. ‘Heartbreaking and heartwarming in equal measure. Every page is filled with quiet dignity.’ – Shobu Kapoor ‘A courageous book’ – Jackie Kay Part of the Refugee Tales series.

El actual momento de inminente decadencia civilizatoria exige de los seres humanos un poco de serenidad y paciencia para pensar su por-venir común, conscientes de su inmensa diversidad cultural y de sus discrepancias y conscientes de que su existir está constituido en la naturaleza inconmensurable y trascendente. El pensar sereno que exige la crisis civilizatoria no puede sino ser un diálogo histórico crítico entre distintas perspectivas humanas de comprensión de su devenir. Un diálogo entre distintas epistemologías que cuestionen la relación cognitiva sujeto-objeto, la misma que encuentra su objetivación primera en la relación humano-naturaleza.
