How do you reconcile a family history littered with secrets? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDeceptive Threads \u003c\/em\u003etells the extraordinary true stories of David Joseph's grandfathers - one a Tivoli singer turned ASIO spymaster who vetted 'unwanted' arrivals, the other an early Lebanese immigrant who had to lie about his birthplace to gain Australian naturalisation. In this award-winning solo show, Joseph explores race, belonging, history, and national identity to theatrically illuminate the personal in the political. Deftly untangling the threads linking his family's connection to Australia's racist past and its present dilemma over asylum seekers, he explores the nexus between the government control of immigration and the 'unwelcome' immigrant. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Joseph\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1760622362\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781760622367\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Currency Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/05\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 50\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.39w x 0.14d","brand":"David Joseph","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48440008966399,"sku":"9781760622367","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_851d935c-43f3-4953-9718-4797901e396a.jpg?v=1777180078","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/deceptive-threads-david-joseph-9781760622367","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
