About the Book
In "Shadow Behind the Sun", Remzije Sherifi tells her own story, and that of her family, in the context of a deteriorating political environment that led over a number of years to the attempted ethnic cleansing of Kosova. In the same narrative, she shows the work of the Integration Networks in day to day detail and invites the reader into the world of the Asylum Seeker. For the first time, the horrible events that took place in Kosova are shown from an Albanian Kosovar perspective. In addition, they are put into an historical context that calls into question the accepted notion that the 'cleansings' of the 1990s are entirely a modern phenomenon. Instead, the author insists, they were part of a recurring historical pattern and as such are likely to happen again. The book contains direct speech interviews with Asylum Seekers and has, in two appendices, conversations with Janet Andrews (Secretary of MiN) and Dr Elinor Kelly (a freelance academic specialising in race and ethnic issues), and with Nick Hopkins (co-founder of Maryhill Integration Network).
