My friend Holly (![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
cosmolinguist) is writing a book about being an immigrant. Like me, Holly has lived in the UK for many years as an immigrant and has written poignant posts on the subject, as can be seen the foreignness tag on her DW. She has a gift for voicing thoughts for which I often struggle to find the words.
The Kickstarter for her book, Duel for Citizenship, has just 12 hours left. It can be found here. Most levels of support include a copy of the book as an incentive. If you can support her project, which I see as a vital response to the clamour of toxic and xenophobic anti-immigrant/refugee rhetoric currently dominating the public narrative, I would appreciate it too.

I don't do immigration law (although I have colleagues who do). Like child protection law, which I did do for a couple of years, it requires a combination of specialist knowledge and enormous emotional resilience at a level I doubt I could sustain for too long.
