Editor's Note:
Syksyllä 2014 kuvajournalisti ja tutkija Anna Kuokkanen tapasi vastaanottokeskuksessa nigerialaisen Itohan Okundayen, joka oli selviytynyt Italiassa ihmiskaupasta ja tullut Suomeen turvapaikanhakijana. Kohtaamisesta alkoi yli kymmenen vuoden tutkimusmatka suomalaiseen turvapaikkapolitiikkaan ja -käytäntöön. Kirjassa yhdistyvät kuuden turvapaikanhakijan kokemukset ja kuvat heidän arkisesta elämästään, aikaisempi tutkimustieto sekä asiantuntijoiden haastattelut. Turvapaikkaprosessi voi kestää vuosia. Odotusaikana saattaa olla vaikeaa löytää mielekästä tekemistä, eikä tulevaisuutta pysty juuri ennakoida. Pitkä odotus kuormittaa henkisesti ja altistaa mielenterveysongelmille. Hankalasta elämäntilanteesta huolimatta moni turvapaikanhakija löytää mielekästä tekemistä opiskelun, työn tai aktivismin muodossa, ja paikkansa suomalaisessa yhteiskunnassa. Kirja haastaa julkisessa keskustelussa ja politiikassa viime vuosina vahvistuneen erottelun työperäisen ja humanitaarisen maahanmuuton välillä. Todellisten ihmisten elämät eivät helposti taivu näihin kategorioihin.
