Refugee Hotel (Voice of Witness)
"Photographer Stabile and journalist Linderman present the images and words of refugees to the U.S. in this compact, beautiful volume."—Publishers Weekly"Refugee Hotelis full of stories that pull you in so immediately, and with such force, that the act of reading becomes surreal. Instead of sitting on the couch holding a book, it is as if you are in a movie theater, watching an independent film dominating awards season. It enriches your life in the moment, and leaves an impression so intimate you cannot easily forget it. There is no other book likeRefugee Hotelon your shelf. You should remedy that soon."—Alexis Coe,SF WeeklyPRAISE FOR VOICE OF WITNESS“These books are amazing … beautifully produced, with incredible editing and literary sensibility. Voice of Witness has done a better job than I’ve seen anybody do with having people tell their stories in a way that really engages you.”—Rachel Maddow, MSNBC,Air America“The series does not so much weave a tapestry from different experiences as braid a rope, a lifeline by which we might haul ourselves into a less ignorant, more actively compassionate future. In them, the specific illuminates the general, destroying preconceptions, stereotypes, and cop-out responses along the way.”—Richard Vernon,Sojourners Magazine“In a time when history is told in cheap television re-enactments, if at all, and personal tragedy is gobbled up in rapidly digestible magazine photos and reality shows, this project goes against the grain.”—Guardian UK
