Displacement can lead to forced journeys away from home and from places of belonging. The forced journeys in these books include a family who are stateless and forced to leave Kuwait and the forced deportation of Mexican Americans to Mexico during the 1930s Great Depression. The loss of place leads to a separation from home and journeys of fear.
