Mar03Understanding Syria through Syrian Voices: Refugee’ Stories of Revolution, War, and the Struggle for HomeOver 13 years, Northwestern University Professor Wendy Pearlman has interviewed more than 500 displaced Syrians around the world about their experiences of a brutal authoritarian regime, the popular uprising against it, and the subsequent war and refugee crisis. In this presentation, she shares and explores their stories collected in her two books, We Crossed a Bridge and It Trembled: Voices from Syria (available in Turkish as Bir Köprüden Geçtik: Suriyeli Direnişçiler Anlatıyor) and the newly published The Home I Worked to Make: Voices from the New Syrian Diaspora. These oral histories help explain the origins and trajectory of the Syrian conflict and the lived experience of displacement, while also shedding light on the dramatic questions currently facing Syrian refugees in Turkey and also offering broader lessons about migration, belonging, and the search for dignity.
