@JoyceCarolOates that long story is beautifully told in The Book of My Lives and My Parents: An Introduction/This Does Not Belong to You - some of the finest works of contemporary (American) literature you’ll find

Displacement does not mean shopping for the best place to be. You go where you can—legally, emotionally, randomly. Displacement is usually irreversible. You can only visit, if you’re lucky, where you came from, but you can never return.

I arrived to the US from Canada, where I was visiting a woman in Ottawa I was very fond of. Stayed in her mother’s coach house, slept on the floor of the only heated room. This was March 92, barricades on the street of Sarajevo, my parents+sister still there.

Dear
@JoyceCarolOates, please do not say this. It is the equivalent of “Why don’t you go home if you do not like it here?” It was particularly painful hearing it in the war when the home (not just its physical space) was being violated. It hurts, still.Kiitos. Käytämme tätä aikajanasi parantamiseen. KumoaKumoa

It's not like Canada is a beacon of freedom either. It has its own demons when it comes to first nations.

May I kindly recommend my hairdresser, dear Joyce? She is displaced from Bosnia, now living in Chicago, on roughly the same timeline as Sasha. Not only would she answer your question, she would help you understand how incredibly rude and myopic it is.

Do you even realize that many migrants don't have a choice as to where they land?
