1: Refugee Tales - Emma Parsons

This month we look at Refugee Tales, a series of books that bring together poets and novelists to tell the stories of individuals who have directly experienced Britain’s policy of indefinite immigration detention. IDS' Kelly Shephard speaks with Emma Parsons who wrote “The Teacher’s Tale”, which is told from her perspective as an English teacher, giving support to a refugee detained under the UK immigration system.Links:Refugee Tales website: http://refugeetales.org/ Comma Press, the publishers: https://commapress.co.uk/books/refugee-tales-volume-iii Refugee Tales on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/refugeetales/ The Guardian review: https://www.theguardian.com/books/2019/jun/23/refugee-tales-migration-books-ungrateful-refugee-our-city-dina-nayeri-jon-bloomfield-jonathan-portes Review of Emma Parsons' tale in EFL magazine: https://www.eflmagazine.com/book-review-refugee-tales/?fbclid=IwAR15zN-7IVq7HwST3ekr_rIaHEOWXHe0FZ1tVT1aqZZ_sG8wC7-autzGszwThis podcast is produced and edited by IDS Communications Coordinator, Sarah King.
