Description

Down with the Poor! by Shumona Sinha is a deeply emotional and morally complex critique of European asylum systems. In this acerbic novel, Sinha peers into a harsh reality, revealing the dislocated responses to poverty and desperation through the eyes of an interpreter caught up in a tangle of lies and truths. As she navigates her own experiences as a foreigner living in France, Sinha's narrator finds herself contaminated by the violence of the world. This is a story about the ways in which bureaucracies and mindsets uphold the status quo, and the human cost that follows. With an acerbic sense of humour, Down with the Poor! lays bare the prejudices on all sides, offering a powerful account of the complexities of poverty and desperation.
