ASYLUM DENIED: A REFUGEE’S STRUGGLE FOR SAFETY IN AMERICA

Book ID/图书代码： 13520008B23822

English Summary/英文概要： Asylum Denied is the gripping story of political refugee David Ngaruri Kenney’s harrowing odyssey through the world of immigration processing in the United States. Kenney, while living in his native Kenya, led a boycott to protest his government’s treatment of his fellow farmers. He was subsequently arrested and taken into the forest to be executed. This book, told by Kenney and his lawyer Philip G. Schrag from Kenney’s own perspective, tells of his near-murder, imprisonment, and torture in Kenya; his remarkable escape to the United States; and the obstacle course of ordeals and proceedings he faced as U.S. government agencies sought to deport him to Kenya. A story of courage, love, perseverance, and legal strategy, Asylum Denied brings to life the human costs associated with our immigration laws and suggests reforms that are desperately needed to help other victims of human rights violations.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 《被收容所拒之门外》讲述了一个扣人心弦的故事：政治难民大卫·肯尼在美国移民世界中的艰难悲痛之旅。肯尼的家乡在肯尼亚。他曾领导人民抵制政府对他的农民兄弟的不公正待遇。但随后他就被捕了，并被押送到密林中准备枪决。本书既有肯尼的亲口叙述，也有他的律师菲利浦G. 施莱格从肯尼的角度进行的讲述，包括肯尼最近险些遭到谋杀的内幕以及他在肯尼亚的牢狱生活和受到的虐待；逃到美国的惊人历程；美国政府当局试图驱逐他出境让他陷入的困境和漫长的诉讼。这是一个关于勇气，爱，毅力和法律策略的故事。《被收容所拒之门外》将移民法的代价活生生地展示在我们面前，并建议改革帮助其他人权遭到侵害的受害人，这是一项迫在眉睫的任务。(zyt)
