Praise for Migration Stories

“A fascinatingly readable yet terrifying set of stories. They are brilliantly written and precisely edited.”  Professor David Morley, University of Warwick, UK.

“A fantastic collection of short fiction that gets right under the skin of the experience and what it means for individuals.”   Anne Caldwell, poet.

“Story resonates with story, each counter-pointing the other in relation to the central theme of migration that runs throughout. A web of connections defines the modern city as a nexus of journeys, a confluence of stories and histories that are both personal and culturally inflected.”  Dr Graham Mort, poet, critic.

Contributors: Bashir Ahmed, Muli Amaye, Valerie Bartley, Maggie Cobbett,  Matthew Curry, Nicola Daly, Rowena Fan, Ovie Jobome, Kathleen McKay, Martin De Mello, Vijay Medtia Tariq Mehmood, Qaisra Shahraz, Sue Stern, Kim Wiltshire, Hua Zi.
