Unwanted: Stories of the Syrian Refugees
Unwanted: Stories of the Syrian Refugees | Don Brown
5 posts | 11 read | 7 to read
In the tradition of Don Brown's critically acclaimed, full-color nonfiction graphic novels The Great American Dust Bowl and Sibert Honor winning Drowned City, The Unwanted is an important, timely, and eye-opening exploration of the ongoing Syrian refugee crisis, exposing the harsh realities of living in, and trying to escape, a war zone.Starting in 2011, refugees flood out of war-torn Syria in Exodus-like proportions. The surprising flood of victims overwhelms neighboring countries, and chaos follows. Resentment in host nations heightens as disruption and the cost of aid grows. By 2017, many want to turn their backs on the victims. The refugees are the unwanted. Don Brown depicts moments of both heartbreaking horror and hope in the ongoing Syrian refugee crisis. Shining a light on the stories of the survivors, The Unwanted is a testament to the courage and resilience of the refugees and a call to action for all those who read.

A quick read for the @wemtaonline Battle of the Books season. It‘s heartbreaking, what refugees have to go through. This 90 page graphic novel by Don Brown shares stories of the Syrian refugees who fled their country under duress from violent political upheaval. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Highly recommend this graphic novel that tells the story of Syrian refugees and their plight. Includes some background on the civil war and includes an authors note describing his visits to camps in Greece.

As a graphic novel, I felt the images were not always clearly assembled and it was sometimes hard to keep track of what was happening. However, as a representation of Syrian refugees, this seemed like a good representation of the tragedy and chaos of the region.
