The book explores the transformation of local solidarity on the Greek island of Lesbos during the 2015-2017 refugee crisis, when thousands of migrants arrived seeking safety. Through ethnographic research, it examines the interactions between NGOs, EU authorities, local officials, businessmen, migrants, and residents, highlighting the initial euphoria of welcoming newcomers that later shifted to disappointment and indifference. It questions the current state of solidarity and investigates the factors that contributed to this change in the local community's response to the ongoing migration challenges.
