Table of ContentsReviews"""As the daughter and granddaughter of refugees, as an immigrant myself, I welcome Toula Drimonis's book. Seeking Asylum demystifies the many false beliefs surrounding refugees in Quebec, in Canada and around the world. As climate change will make large areas of our Earth less and less hospitable tohuman life, we must expect a great wave of migration towards those countries that will still enjoy a more temperate climate. This will be a matter of life and death for millions of people. It is imperative we find ways to share resources, welcome the stranger among us, and hold onto our common humanity.? -Pepita G. Capriolo, immigrant and retired judge ""Toula Drimonis has created a quilt of compassion for all of humanity, stitching it together with facts and research, compelling stories, and pleas for empathy. Untying the knots of disinformation and prejudice, she sews a blanket with threads of hope and goodwill, that we may together, as humans, see ourselves in one another and offer support through shared resilient bonds."" -Janet McFetridge, Plattsburgh Cares, and Mayor, Village of Champlain ?Based on extensive research, Seeking Asylum dismantles the myths about refugees and asylum seekers put forward by a cynical cabal of conservative politicians. Author Toula Drimonis takes a difficult, complex topic and presents it clearly and concisely in absolutely engaging writing that's a delight to read, An urgent and timely antidote to the fear and hysteria of so many discussions of this topic.? -Chris Oliveros, Are You Willing to Die tor The Cause?"
