eBook
In Australia, growing alarm about the arrival of asylum-seekers set in around the time of the Tampa affair in 2001, and has led to the country imposing increasingly draconian anti-refugee policies. In Europe, the recent arrival of over a million refugees and asylum-seekers has provoked a sense of panic across that continent and beyond. -- Arguing that Western states are now reaping the consequences of policies aimed at blocking safe and ‘legal’ access to asylum, -- -- ‘With the crisis about boat people out of sight for the present, it’s time to calmly consider what refugees are … Maley discusses this global epidemic with facts, cool accounts of the laws, and careful compassion for the individuals caught in the rip-tide of war.’ The Adelaide Advertiser
