This is the crucial question that Sohail Jannesari wants the world to reflect on as our states deepen their commitment to cruelty as statecraft. The answer, however, is not provided by him; instead he gathers the answer from an extraordinary group of sanctuary seekers who reveal to him their strength, versatility and creativity as they adapt, cope, and ultimately rebuild themselves. In Jannesari's story, it is terror that is defeated every time a migrant re-fills an application, re-builds a home and re-plays a game of chess in a community center.\" --Tithi Bhattacharya, Professor of South Asian History and the Director of Global Studies at Purdue University, co-editor of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/burningbooks.com\/products\/making-death-and-life-in-palestine-social-reproduction-in-settler-colonialism\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eMaking Death and Life in Palestine\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eThe Migrant Art of Coping \u003c\/i\u003eexpertly speaks to the intersection between mental health, migration, anti-racism, and decolonisation.
