{"product_id":"where-the-water-ends","title":"Where the Water Ends","description":"Forced migration around the world doubled over the decade to 2020. At the same time, the borders of the European Union became the world’s deadliest frontier, More than 20,000 people have died or disappeared while attempting to enter the continent since the BU was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2012. In Where the Water Ends, Zoe Holman traces the story of this frontier from the perspective of migrants from the Middle East to Greece, the cradle of European and ‘western’ civilisation, now itself marginalised within the EU and precariously hosting more than 150,000 asylum seekers. This is human history in the best sense. Through Holman’s account we see the intricate and complex daily, monthly and yearly challenges of those seeking, within or outside of ‘the system’, a future for themselves and their loved ones. Where the Water Ends urges us to reflect on the lessons of the past, the isolationist spirit of the present, and the promises and failures of the international institutions and conventions we continue to rely on in our hope for a better future. ZOE HOLMAN is a journalist, historian and poet, writing on international politics, gender and the Middle East. Her reporting and essays have appeared in The Guardian, The Economist, London Review of Books, The Sydney Morning Herald and VICE. ‘Holman skillfully weaves together personal testimony, history and astute observation to create a compelling portrait of migration and the human cost of Europe's border policies’ DANIEL TRILLING Visit mup.com.au for special offers","brand":"U21 eBooks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44586392617002,"sku":"9780522876826","price":1.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.larterslibrary.com\/products\/where-the-water-ends","provider":"Larters Library","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
