{"product_id":"9781447373629","title":"Sheltering Strangers","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book documents the intimate lives of Ukrainians as they fled their homeland in search of a safe and stable place to stay. The critical memoirs follow the lives of 16 Ukrainian families in a small Spanish town near Madrid and the local families that volunteered to host them during a time of limited state support and an absence of a clear EU plan for the refugees. Through first-hand testimonies, social media messages and photographs, the book reveals the scarring realities of the Ukrainians’ upheaval, displacement and trauma alongside the well-meaning sacrifices made by the host families which quickly mutate into moralistic and meritocratic expectations of their new guests. In doing so, the book offers a vivid portrayal of how the tensions of war and displacement play out in real life in real time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Daniel Briggs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52391249281342,"sku":"9781447373629","price":1178.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/files\/9781447373629.jpg?v=1761173035","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9781447373629","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
