Bøger om Udlænding

An updated version of the popular book based on the "How to Live in Denmark" podcast, with 8 new chapters.In this fun, easy-to-read book, Kay draws on her own experience as a foreigner in Denmark when it comes to learning Danish, trying to find a job in Denmark, and looking for a place to live in Copenhagen. She also touches on dating in Denmark, Danish drinking culture, Danish childraising, and how you can guess a Danish person's age from their first name alone. This entertaining look at life as an outsider in Denmark draws on gentle humor and can be enjoyed by both foreigners and their Danish friends.

Life in one of the world's most homogenous countries can be tough on foreigners. Why do Danish adults wear elf hats to parties? Should you wear one too? Why are Danish adults so kind and gentle around their friends, yet so vicious to strangers in bicycle lanes? Why is it OK in Denmark to talk openly about sex, but embarrassing to admit to ambition? 'How to Live in Denmark' is based on the podcast by Kay Xander Mellish, who has lived in Denmark since 2000. It answers these questions and many more about daily life as a non-Dane in 'the happiest country in the world'.

I PERKER4LIFE oplever vi det hårde miljø i ghettoen gennem den unge Jamals øjne. Selvom Jamal både har et godt hoved og er et empatisk menneske, bliver han sammen med sine venner alligevel fastholdt i kriminalitet i dette parallelsamfund, hvor man dyrker volden, æren og loyaliteten over for venner og familie. Eftersom flere af drengene pines af deres voldelige og dominerende fædre, er det således umuligt for dem at forlade miljøet og opbygge sig et normalt liv. Da faren til vennen, Ahmed sætter hele sin familie i dyb gæld, eskalerer problemerne dog for drengegruppen, og gør drømmen om et nyt liv uden kriminalitet endnu mere fjern. ̋Jeg prøver, wallah jeg prøver at ændre mit liv hver evig eneste dag, men det er bare, som om, jeg bliver hevet ind i det gang på gang. Som om, at det ikke er meningen, at jeg skal sejre, at min skæbne er forseglet, og at jeg er dømt til at leve livet for at lade andre lære af, hvor fucked op mit liv er, så de kan nå at ændre deres, mens jeg skal lide under mit. ̋
