Omid Tofighian

    Dr. Omid Tofighian je prednášajúci, výskumník a komunitný advokát, ktorého práca spája filozofiu so záujmami o rétoriku, náboženstvo a populárnu kultúru. Jeho záujem o transnacionalizmus, vysídlenie a diskrimináciu formuje jeho zapojenie do komunitných umeleckých a kultúrnych projektov, najmä s utečencami a mladými ľuďmi. Tofighianove publikácie sa hlboko ponárajú do prieniku filozofie a spoločnosti. Svojou prekladateľskou činnosťou tiež sprístupňuje diela iných autorov širšiemu publiku.

      In 2013, Kurdish journalist Behrouz Boochani sought asylum in Australia but was instead illegally imprisoned in the country's most notorious detention centre on Manus Island. This book is the result.Boochani spent nearly five years typing passages of this book one text at a time from a secret mobile phone in prison. Compiled and translated from Farsi, they form an incredible story of how escaping political persecution in Iran, he ended up trapped as a stateless person. This vivid, gripping portrait of his years of incarceration and exile shines devastating light on the fates of so many people, as borders close around the world.
