“Jacob Mau and the Refugee Highway Partnership have crafted a superb and powerful listening experience. Many refugee accounts in the media and in our advocacy efforts reinforce a narrative that limits how we see displaced people and how they see themselves. Through careful interviews with a few refugees and asylum seekers in Turkey, Beyond Soundbites issues a set of critical reminders:
Refugee is a term, not an identity. The ‘voiceless’ have voices. And becoming listeners is part of our job as advocates.
