When asylum seekers and refugees are displaced, how do they use
communication technologies to maintain links with friends and
family during flight and forced migration? When they are detained,
what role does technology play in the ways asylum seekers
communicate with the 'outside'? How do asylum seekers and refugees
appropriate and use new communication technologies whilst
establishing themselves in a new country? This monograph presents
the findings of a qualitative pilot research study that sought to
answer these questions. It provides an insight into how asylum
seekers use communication technologies during conflict, flight,
detention and resettlement, to maintain links with their families
and friends back home, with diaspora from their country of origin
and with communities in the country where they are seeking asylum.
It is also one of the first studies to examine how communication
with the outside world occurs in immigration detention centres and
to document asylum seeker perspectives on the communication
restrictions encountered there.
