Very good in Very good jacket. [8], 352 pages. Illustrations. Map. Notes. Index. DJ has slight wear and soiling. Asylum Denied is the gripping story of political refugee David Ngaruri Kenney's harrowing odyssey through the world of immigration processing in the United States. Kenney, while living in his native Kenya, led a boycott to protest his government's treatment of his fellow farmers. He was subsequently arrested and taken into the forest to be executed. This book, told by Kenney and his lawyer Philip G. Schrag from Kenney's own perspective, tells of his near-murder, imprisonment, and torture in Kenya; his remarkable escape to the United States; and the obstacle course of ordeals and proceedings he faced as U.S. government agencies sought to deport him to Kenya. A story of courage, love, perseverance, and legal strategy, Asylum Denied brings to life the human costs associated with our immigration laws and suggests reforms that are desperately needed to help other victims of human rights violations. Derived from a Kirkus review: A dismaying account of bureaucracy at its red-tape-bound worst. Kenney, who was imprisoned and tortured for leading a tea farmer's protest in Kenya, was fortunate to be befriended by generous Peace Corps workers, who helped get him out of Kenya and to the United States on a basketball scholarship in 1995. He was also fortunate to meet Schrag, who heads Georgetown University's Center for Applied Legal Studies, an organization that helps asylum seekers. Kenney accumulated mountains of paperwork and endured countless frustrations as he worked his way through the federal courts and other government agencies, struggling to comply with complex rules and regulations while pleading his case before seemingly arbitrary, sometimes hostile officials. The authors make clear that the odds are against asylum seekers. Schrag's epilogue is an analysis of what's wrong with the way the United States treats immigrants and how the system could be improved.
