Beskrivning

"Immigrant Voices in the Pandemic" is a powerful collection of stories that showcase how the COVID-19 period has influenced the way we create art. This anthology is a testimony to how art can deliver our common humanity, especially in times of crisis, smuggling stories of immigration, exile, and loneliness into the pandemic frame.This second iteration of the anthology "Voices on the Move' is a varied tapestry that weaves in stories of grief and loss on one hand and recovery and hope on the other. The literature and art included here allow their creators and readers to inhabit a "flow state," enabling them to experience various levels of ecstasy rather than worry and pain.The authors gathered in this anthology are diverse, with some established in their respective fields, while others are just beginning their artistic journey. All of their voices come together to compose a choir whose song is audible beyond the pandemic. They are refugees, immigrants, and displaced people, and the entire book has emerged from directly lived experiences and personal stories.As an authentically feminist work, this collection also opens doors towards social change and equality. The pieces gathered here, whether in poetry, prose, drama, or visual arts, innovate at the aesthetic level, creating new languages and often breaking with traditional forms in all the genres."Immigrant Voices in the Pandemic" offers a unique perspective on how the COVID-19 crisis has impacted the artistic expression of refugees, immigrants, and migrants. It is a must-read for those seeking to understand the impact of this moment in our common history on the artistic community and on humanity as a whole.

“Immigrant Voices in the Pandemic” invites both our imaginative engagement with and empathetic concern for those whose experiences of the global pandemic, especially the social isolation of sheltering in place, were complicated by their immigrant identities. Their voices and visions break readers out of our inevitably constrained and narrow memories of the time, which we all experienced simultaneously and separately. The editors, Roxana Cazan and Domnica Radulescu, have assembled an exquisite collection of images, fictions, poems, plays, and nonfiction hybrids in this anthology.—Suzanne Keen, author of “Empathy and Reading” (2022). ||| While the dislocation and isolation of the pandemic hit us all hard, the experience for immigrants was unique. What does lockdown look like when you’re already far from home? How can one find comfort in family from the other side of a border? These themes and more are explored in the collection of stories, poems, essays, plays, and visual art that comprise Immigrant “Voices in the Pandemic.” In these stories of love, loss, gratitude, and pain, readers will encounter intellectually rigorous criticism as well as imagery that is transporting in its beauty. From refugee camps to convenience stores to hospital rooms, I was profoundly affected by these provocative pieces that evoke global memories and rituals from across time and space. Searing, strident, and heartbreakingly lovely, the pieces in this collection are both granular in their specificity and a testament to the universality of the world we share.—Kim van Alkemade, New York Times bestselling author of “Orphan #8” and “Counting Lost Stars”
