Displacement and refuge guide discussions at the Immigration Museum's Book Club, which features works exclusively by women (cis and trans) writers. Previous sessions explored African authors, epistolary literature, and uncanny texts. In the second half of 2026, the focus turns to narratives about refuge caused by war, examining how real or dystopian conflicts affect lives and identities, forcing territorial displacement.
