Description

This book is a first-person account of arrest, displacement, and survival across collapsing political systems.

It documents the author’s experiences during the Arab Spring in Libya, subsequent detention, refugee transit, and eventual resettlement in the United States.

The work examines how insults, humiliation, and coercive language function not as emotional wounds, but as mechanisms that distance individuals from peace, dignity, and moral agency.

This is not a political argument.

It is a record of lived experience under systems of control.
