520    "A provocative, virtuosic inquiry that reveals how the 
       valorization of times and migrations past are intimately 
       linked to our exclusion and demonization of migrants in 
       the present When and how did migration become a crime? Why
       did "Greek ideals" become foundational to the West's idea 
       of itself? How have our personal migration myths -and our 
       nostalgia for a lost world of clear borders and values - 
       shaped our troubling new realities? In 2020, Lauren 
       Markham went to Greece to cover the burning of a refugee 
       camp on Lesbos. Some said the refugees had done it, to 
       destroy what had become their prison. Others said it was 
       the island's fascists, or the government itself, enraged 
       at the burden they bore for an overwhelming global 
       problem. Soon--too soon--six young Afghan refugees were 
       arrested. As she immersed herself in the reporting, 
       Markham--an American of Greek heritage who had been 
       working with and writing about migrants for more than a 
       decade--saw that the story she was reporting was part of a
       larger tapestry, with roots not only in centuries of 
       history but in the myths we tell ourselves about who we 
       are. In this mesmerizing, trailblazing synthesis of 
       reporting, history, memoir, and essay, A Map of Future 
       Ruins makes us realize that the stories we tell about 
       migration don't just explain what happened. They are 
       oracles: they predict the future"--|cProvided by
