New open access books:
- "[A] collection of personal narratives about the refugee experience in
Canada. It includes critical perspectives from authors from diverse
backgrounds, including refugees, advocates, front-line workers, private
sponsors, and civil servants. The narratives collected here confront
dominant public discourse about refugee identities and histories and
provide deep insight into the social, political, and cultural challenges
and opportunities that refugees experience in Canada."
Refugee Journeys: Histories of Resettlement, Representation and
Resistance
(ANU Press, Feb. 2021) [open access]
- This book "presents stories of how governments, the public and the media
have responded to the arrival of people seeking asylum, and how these
responses have impacted refugees and their lives. Mostly covering the
period from 1970 to the present, the chapters provide readers with an
understanding of the political, social and historical contexts that have
brought us to the current day. This engaging collection of essays also
considers possible ways to break existing policy deadlocks, encouraging
readers to imagine a future where we carry vastly different ideas about
refugees, government policies and national identities."
