Recommended book:  The Wretched of the Sea: Women and Borders in the Mediterranean

This book, based on research carried out on the Mediterranean coast, recounts the tales of the women who survived perilous voyages, heartbreaking rupture from their family, and the promise of opportunities. The Wretched of the Sea offers a remarkable insight into their daily lives in reception centers, waiting to be accepted into a Europe that often rejects them.
