  • More about The Home I Worked to Make: Voices from the New Syrian Diaspora

The Home I Worked to Make explores the question of what home means, based on interviews with Syrians who have fled their country due to conflict. It challenges readers to grapple with the hard-won wisdom of those who survive war and to see what home means in their own lives.

Format: Hardback
Length: 304 pages
Publication date: 02 August 2024
Publisher: WW Norton & Co


Syrians took to the streets in 2011, demanding freedom, but the brutal government repression turned peaceful protests into one of the most devastating conflicts of our time, killing hundreds of thousands and displacing millions. The Home I Worked to Make takes Syria's refugee outflow as its point of departure and explores the question of what home means to people from all over the world. Through gripping interviews conducted over more than a decade, Syrians now on five continents share their stories of leaving, losing, searching, and finding (or not finding) home. The book challenges readers to grapple with the hard-won wisdom of those who survive war and to see, with fresh eyes, what home means in their own lives. By recasting "refugee crises" as acts of diaspora-making, The Home I Worked to Make encourages readers to see the value in the experiences of those who have been forced to leave their homes and to recognize the importance of creating a sense of belonging in new environments.
