A Handful of Dust cover

Andrea Smith, Publicist National print and online campaign Social Media campaign Promotion through: www.daylightbooks.org

An essential collection of reportage for those following the conflict in Syria and its impact on the rest of the world.A Handful of Dust gives a glimpse into the approximately 3 million Syrians who have fled war in their home country and are living in Turkey. Nish has been following this story for several years, chronicling the circumstances of many whose lives have been upended and forced to flee. Most registered refugees don't live in camps, they live in Turkish towns and cities, alongside their new Turkish neighbors. While many refugees are very poor, and most find themselves in a precarious position, there are also working class, middle class, and wealthy Syrians who have made this exodus.

“Photographer Nish Nalbandian gives some of the hundreds of thousands of Syrian refugees a face, a body, a voice. He invites us to identify, to feel compassion.”,
- F-Stop Magazine, May 23, 2018
“What makes his work different is its focus not simply on Syrian refugees as victims but on the diversity of their experiences.”,
