Book published by the Centre National de la Photographie (Paris- France) in 1993 in the collection Photo Notes. Be it the Afghans, the Kurds, the Khmer, there were more than 20 million refugees in the world in 1994. With compassion John Vink shows us this population of uprooted individuals, chased by a regime that rejects them, thrown out of their country by ethnic intolerance, fleeing drought, famine or wars. During more than one year, spread over six years, he has been to those places where families of displaced people wait for more than a bowl of rice. They wait for a real reason to exist.List of the depicted situations:- Guatemalan refugees in Mexico. - Sri Lankan refugees in India. - Bulgarian refugees in Turkey- Nicaraguan and Salvadoran refugees in Honduras. - South Sudanese displaced in Sudan. - Cambodian refugees and displaced in Thailand. - Afghan refugees in Pakistan. - Burmese Karen refugees in Thailand. - Burmese Rohingya refugees in Bangla Desh. - Rumanian refugees in Hungary. - Mozambican refugees in Malawi. -Kurdish displaced in Iraq. - Refugees and displaced in ex-Yugoslavia. - Angolan displaced in Angola.
