520 "A year in the life of a Chicago high school that has one
of the highest proportions of refugees of any school in
the nation"--|cProvided by publisher.
520 Lit Hub's Most Anticipated of 2021 A year in the life of a
Chicago high school that has one of the highest
proportions of refugees of any school in the nation "A
wondrous tapestry of stories, of young people looking for
a home. With deep, immersive reporting, Elly Fishman pulls
off a triumph of empathy. Their tales and their school
speak to the best of who we are as a nation--and their
struggles, their joys, their journeys will stay with you."
--Alex Kotlowitz, author of There Are No Children Here
Winner of the Studs and Ida Terkel Award For a century,
Chicago's Roger C. Sullivan High School has been a home to
immigrant and refugee students. In 2017, during the worst
global refugee crisis in history, its immigrant population
numbered close to three hundred--or nearly half the school
--and many were refugees new to the country. These young
people came from thirty-five different countries, speaking
among themselves more than thirty-eight different
languages. For these refugee teens, life in Chicago is
hardly easy. They have experienced the world at its worst
and carry the trauma of the horrific violence they fled.
In America, they face poverty, racism, and xenophobia, but
they are still teenagers--flirting, dreaming, and working
as they navigate their new life in America. Refugee High
is a riveting chronicle of the 2017-8 school year at
Sullivan High, a time when anti-immigrant rhetoric was at
its height in the White House. Even as we follow teachers
and administrators grappling with the everyday challenges
facing many urban schools, we witness the complicated
circumstances and unique education needs of refugee and
immigrant children: Alejandro may be deported just days
before he is scheduled to graduate; Shahina narrowly
escapes an arranged marriage; and Belenge encounters gang
turf wars he doesn't understand. Equal parts heartbreaking
and inspiring, Refugee High raises vital questions about
the priorities and values of a public school and offers an
eye-opening and captivating window into the present-day
American immigration and education systems.
