She explores how this extractive industry is peopled by an ever-shifting cast of refugee lawyers, social workers, clinicians, policy makers, and academics globally and how the very structures of Nauru's colonial phosphate industry and the legacy of the \"phosphateer\" era made it easy for a new human extractive sector to take root on the island. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy detailing the making of and social life of Nauru's asylum system, Morris shows the institutional fabric, discourses, and rhetoric that inform the governance of migration around the world. As similar practices of offshoring and outsourcing asylum have become popular worldwide, they are enabled by the mobile labor and expertise of transnational refugee industry workers who carry out the necessary daily operations. \u003ci\u003eAsylum and Extraction in the Republic of Nauru\u003c\/i\u003e goes behind the scenes to shed light on the everyday running of the offshore asylum industry in Nauru and uncover what really happens underneath the headlines. Morris illuminates how refugee rights activism and #RefugeesWelcome-style movements are caught up in the hardening of border enforcement operations worldwide, calling for freedom of movement that goes beyond adjudicating hierarchies of suffering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Julia Caroline Morris\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501765841\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501765841\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cornell University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/15\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 318\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.88d","brand":"Julia Caroline Morris","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44071538655487,"sku":"9781501765841","price":67.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d1cf56b7-1bc3-476a-b296-e2e0d0979a77.jpg?v=1685436698","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/asylum-and-extraction-in-the-julia-caroline-morris-9781501765841","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
