I got my copy of Amnesty magazine today although I suspect it was in the mail box since before I went to New York City.
On page 30 I read a review with Mia Kirshner about her comicbook (her words) "I Live Here" about displacement.
It was motivated to some degree by her parents displacement after World War II. But or yet it wasn't Europe she sought information about but instead wrote about displaced people from Mexico, Malawi, Chechnya and Burma.
There is a terrible dislocation about displacement, especially when it is not one's personal will. But willful or not the feeling of not being at home is unnerving, exhausting and diminishing.
