Book excerpt: For more than twenty years, I resided in a dimension defined by hunger, poverty, violence, and captivity in the world's largest refugee camp in Daadab, Kenya. It was a reality of every refugee in Dadaab camps. Through this seemingly endless and desolate cycle, I learned how to create something out of nothing and find hope where there was none. Every refugee in Dadaab knew there was only one way out, which was resettlement to the United States. Months of waiting resettlement to the U.S. stretched into years, turning passage out of the refugee camp into yet another nightmare to endure. From war-torn Somalia, to my 21 years at Dadaab Refugee Camps, Prison of Dust is a true story of my journey out of a place with no hope, to all that lays beyond.
