What does it mean to be a "refugee"? It is easy forthose who live in relative freedom to ignore or even to villainize people whohave been forced to flee their homes. After all, it can be hard to identify withothers' experiences when you haven't been in theirshoes. In Hakim's Odyssey, we see firsthand howwar can make anyone a refugee. Hakim, a successful young Syrian who had hiswhole life ahead of him, tells his story: how war forced him to leave everythingbehind, including his family, his friends, his home, and his business. After theSyrian uprising in 2011, Hakim was arrested and tortured, his town was bombed, his business was seized by the army, and members of his family were arrested ordisappeared. This first leg of his odyssey follows Hakim as he travels fromSyria to Lebanon, Lebanon to Jordan, and Jordan to Turkey, where he struggles toearn a living and dreams of one day returning to hishome. This graphic novel is necessary readingfor our time. Alternately hopeful and heartbreaking, Hakim's Odyssey is a storyabout what it means to be human in a world that sometimes fails to behumane.
