The Way Home: The Isolated Emotional World Of Former Leprosy Patients And Their Descendents

Author: ,

The Way Home is a careful, emotional, and deeply sympathetic attempt by two journalists to document both the horrors of Leprosy and the disease’s ongoing legacy. Leprosy, also known as Hansen’s Disease, has ostracized millions of people over the course of human civilisation, forcing them into the margins of society, separating them both spatially and socially from family and friends. Nowadays, the disease is treatable, but the scars remain prevalent in most Asian societies. Featuring interviews and photographs from effected individuals, their friends and their families, The Way Home provides deep insight into the struggles of those who suffered and are still suffering.
