Border Lives is award-winning journalist Hsiao-Hung Pai's landmark book in the reporting of Europe's migrant crisis - and a cry from the heart about an asylum system that is simply not fit for purpose. Whilst the headlines about Europe's migration crisis have now subsided, they continue to influence the political agenda all over the continent. Pai travels to meet migrants and asylum-seekers who have just been washed up on the shores of Lampedusa or Sicily and have been absorbed into dismal reception camps.
