Humanizing Data immerses readers in the everyday life of the Kakuma refugee camp, one the largest refugee camps in Africa. While the media frequently offers sensationalist portrayals of refugees as victims, heroes, or villains, this book adopts an alternative methodology called Representative Storytelling that enables readers to situate individual stories in relation to the experience of the wider population.
Based on long-term extensive research within the camp, including large-scale quantitative data collection, the authors worked with nine households located at different points on the camp's income distribution curve to tell their own stories in their own words. The result is nine in-depth narratives, which the reader is able to contextualise because they represent the full spectrum of living standards within the camp. As the protagonists highlight particular themes such as humanitarian aid, food insecurity, education, health, employment, the authors draw upon their wider research to explain how representative those accounts are of the wider population. The result is a comprehensive understanding of life in Kakuma, and an invitation to reflect on how we can combine human stories and statistics to support public understanding of the lives of distant strangers.
