The Making of the Modern Refugee
The Making of the Modern Refugee proposes a new approach to a fundamental aspect of twentieth-century history by bringing the causes, consequences and meanings of global population displacement within a single frame. Its broad chronological and geographical coverage, extending from Europe and the Middle East to South Asia, South-East Asia and sub-Saharan Africa, makes it possible to compare crises and how they were addressed. Wars, revolutions and state formation are invoked as the main causal explanations of displacement, and are considered alongside the emergence of a twentieth-century refugee regime linking governmental practices, professional expertise and humanitarian relief efforts.

Return, Afghanistan
For more than a quarter of a century, Afghanistan has been ravaged by war, drought, and famine. In this magnificent volume, Zalmaï, Afghan-born photographer, returns after twenty-three years in exile to rediscover his homeland at a crucial moment of transition. Working in rich color, and frequently using a panoramic format that embraces the vastness of the sky and sand, Zalmaï immerses us in the ravaged landscape and the bustle of reconstruction. “My project tries to capture the resilience of a people who have rarely known peace, their optimism in the face of overwhelming odds and the very real worry that the country remains on a knife-edge and could easily slip back into a nightmare from which it is still trying to escape.”

Zalmaï parcourt le monde depuis une vingtaine d'années. D'Afrique en Asie, de Cuba aux Etats-Unis. Sur le terrain, il prend du temps, parle à celles et ceux qu'il photographie, attend l'instant où un regard, une silhouette, un geste expriment soudain une vérité. Au-delà de la séduction des images, il se demande sans cesse, lesquelles sont vraies, lesquelles sont fausses. Avec l'envie, toujours, de rapprocher les gens, séparés entre eux par tant de clichés. Tout naturellement, il est attiré par l'Afghanistan, son pays d'origine. Mais en dépassant les images de la violence, Zalmaï veut "ouvrir les yeux des gens sur une réalité autrement plus riche que celle de la guerre et montrer la beauté de l'être humain dans cette misère." En achetant cet album de photographies, vous aidez concrètement RSF Suisse qui se bat pour un droit universel : le droit d'informer et d'être informé.
