In 2021, Lauren Markham travelled to Greece in search of her own Greek heritage and to cover the aftermath of a fire that destroyed the largest refugee camp in Europe. Almost no one had wanted the campnot activists, not the nation's burgeoning neo-fascist movement, not even the governmentbut almost immediately, on weak evidence, six young Afghan refugees were arrested for the crime. When and how did migration become a crime? Why does ancient Greece remain so important to the West's idea of itself? How does nostalgia fuel the exclusion and demonization of migrants today?
It didn't take long for Markham to realise that she was following a larger story that was steeped in myth as much as millennia of world history. A Map of Future Ruins is a captivating and innovative blend of history, essay, memoir, and reporting that demonstrates how the narratives we create about migration offer more than just an account of events. Being future-predictive, they are oracles.
