Displaced - Goshway's Journey is an immersive non-fiction graphic novel that takes you into the journey of a young boy and his family as they are forced to flee from their land in the Chittagong Hill Tracts of Bangladesh. They go from living in a refugee camp in India to returning to Bangladesh to live with a relative. This story explores the trials, traumas, and heartbreak of losing your home and your ethnic identity, and reclaiming that identity. Being able to read and listen to this story painted a full picture and made it more accessible. It is a great story for teaching empathy and comes with trauma informed guides and supplementary materials to learn more about the clearing of the Chittagong Hill Tracts. This is a great book for parents and teachers alike.
This non-fiction graphic novel is the first of its kind, combining illustrations with QR codes to give readers a dramatized radio play with simple animation and subtitles.
Supplemental historical material and trauma-informed guides for educators and recovering survivors, which we call “TIGERS Tools,” are also available with the e-book or print book membership at displaced.thence.us
