1 comments about Bullets on the Water: Refugee Stories.
- This book is a very subjective collection of the stories of refugees who came to canada. The author reproduces their tales almost in their own words. The refugees come from a variety of backgrounds.
It's not a bad book, but isn't very useful for a variety of reasons. The most glaring problem is the background of the refugees: a very large number of them point out "I was richer/luckier/more well educated/more of a risk taker etc than usual." Is this a decent overview of all refugees in Canada? or a skewed perspective? THe author does not clarify. The stories vary: some dwell on post-arrival details, and others stop when the person reaches Canada. The impression given by the book was that none of the stories were verified. If they were, this information is not made very clear. The stories do convey some of the confusion and difficulties of being a refugee, but invariably very subjective. The usual benefits of subjectivity apply; however, a book like this would probably be better if it had some hard data in it to clarify to the reader where (officially, for what that's worth) the readers' stories fit in comparison to other immigrants. Worth getting from the library if you're after a humanistic look at refugee issues.
