"Kuja Meri?" in new book Asylum for Sale

Some of my “Kuja Meri?” project has been published in a chapter of the book Asylum for Sale. A selection of my photographs documenting Afghan refugees around the world, and a short essay, feature in the book, edited by Siobhan McGuirk and Adrienne Pine.

A copy of the book can be ordered here

Asylum for Sale: Profit and Protest in the Migration Industry explores how immigrants' pathways to refuge are increasingly shaped by neoliberal capitalism. The volume features activists, academics, artists, journalists and writers with firsthand experience of asylum processes and has been hailed by Naomi Klein as "an unparalleled resource". Accessible and engaging, Asylum for Sale is a must-read for anyone interested in current immigration issues.
