We’re getting involved in Refugee Week this June. Pluto publishes on the reality of refugees across the world, from Syria to London, often using the voices of those displaced to draw a picture of a world where human beings in crisis are ignored for reasons of ideology and politics.

The books in this list focus on refugees, but also migrants, as well as the nature of national borders and state violence against those forced from their homes.

The books are no longer discounted, but you can still browse the reading list below.
