520    What is it like to be a refugee? It is a question many of 
       us do not give much thought to, and yet there are more 
       than twenty-five million refugees in the world. Aged eight,
       Dina Nayeri fled Iran along with her mother and brother 
       and lived in the crumbling shell of an Italian hotel-
       turned-refugee camp. Eventually, she was granted asylum in
       America. She settled in Oklahoma, then made her way to 
       Princeton University. In this book, Nayeri weaves together
       her own vivid story with the stories of other refugees and
       asylum seekers in recent years, bringing us inside their 
       daily lives and taking us through the different stages of 
       their journeys, from escape to asylum to resettlement. In 
       this book, a couple falls in love over the phone, women 
       gather to prepare noodles that remind them of home, a 
       closeted queer man tries to make his case truthfully as he
       seeks asylum, and a translator attempts to help new 
       arrivals present their stories to officials. Nayeri 
       confronts notions like "the swarm," and, on the other hand,
       "good" immigrants. She calls attention to the harmful way 
       in which Western governments privilege certain dangers 
       over others. With surprising and provocative questions, 
       The Ungrateful Refugee challenges us to rethink how we 
       talk about the refugee crisis.
