Migrant Lives in Pandemic Times (Newcomer)

The Covid-19 pandemic has left no life untouched. "Migrant Lives in Pandemic Times" presents a collection of personal testimony to explore how the everyday realities of migrants from across the globe have changed during the pandemic. From a Senegalese street seller in Bilbao/Spain, to a Syrian gig worker in Toronto/Canada and a Senegalese human rights activist in Berlin/ Germany, the stories give voice to those missing in public debate. They also reveal insights into universal conditions and challenges in terms of work, economical uncertainty, freedom of movement, mental health, activism and the importance of communities - linking us as human beings beyond our specific cultural backgrounds.
