Abstract

"Those We Throw Away are Diamonds: A Refugee's Search for Home" is a memoir by Mondiant Dogon, a Congolese Tutsi refugee, detailing his experiences living in refugee camps in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda for over 20 years. The memoir emphasizes the importance of education in the lives of refugees and explores themes such as child protection, identity development, and the role of aid organizations. Dogon's story challenges assumptions about refugee dependency on humanitarian aid and highlights the need for more inclusive and action-oriented research and programming in the field of Education in Emergencies. The memoir is recommended for those interested in refugee inclusion and education for displaced populations. [Extracted from the article]
