"Kermani once more shows his brilliance as a reporter."
—Der Standard "The real significance of this reportage lies in the
many questions Kermani poses to the reader, in the face of the
refugee crisis and its political consequences, as well as rampant
levels of hate and fear—questions that cannot remain
unanswered."
—Die Tagespost "Among the most thoughtful intellectual voices in
Germany today."
—The New York Review of Books "The moral power behind Kermani's
extraordinary achievements is scarcely paralleled among all the
great figures of German literature."
—Süddeutsche Zeitung "Kermani doesn't conceal a thing. He records
everything that he sees and hears. But he also says what he thinks
of it all...masterful."
—Frankfurter Rundschau "Does Kermani just tell the nice stories?
No, he is too good for that. He shows empathy towards the refugees,
but also looks more closely to reveal the complex reasons for their
flight."
—Die Welt "In Upheaval, Navid Kermani shows what a serious public
discussion of migration could look like."
—Deutschlandradio
"Kermani has done a great job of not only capturing something of
what the refugees are experiencing as they take the last stage of
their journey to what they hope will be a new world, but the mood
of the people whose hands they pass through. He shines a light in
the dark spaces of our current world and exposes the dirty and
shameful way we treat our fellow human beings."
