This book is an important addition to the growing literature which
addresses the issue of Australia's policies towards people seeking
asylum. In the early stages of the Tampa crisis, the government
dominated discussions around Australian refugee policy. Australians
would decide who would live amongst us. Such decisions were was
when asylum seekers were depicted as non-law abiding, unruly and
inhumane 'others' who were very different from us. Slowly other
voices have been added to this discussion and in different forums
we have begun to hear from some of those people who sough asylum
and who describe horrors, fears and terrors which made remaining
where they were, unthinkable. These stories began to challenge the
idea that these refugees were different from us. Still, the
Australian hardline policies have continued. This volume broadens
the debate by adding to the voices of some of those seeking asylum,
the voices of people who have been working directly with refugees,
as well as those of experts able to comment on the impact of the
laws created around the refugees.
