Combining reporting, history and political philosophy, Andy Lamey sets out to explain the story behind the radical increase in the global number of asylum-seekers, and the effects of North America and Europe's increasing unwillingness to admit them. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHe follows the extraordinary efforts of a set of Yale law students who sued the U.S. government on behalf of a group of refugees imprisoned at Guant疣amo Bay; he recounts one refugee family's harrowing journey from Saddam Hussein's Iraq to contemporary Australia via the world's most dangerous ocean crossing; and he explores the fascinating case of Ahmed Ressam, the so-called Millennium bomber who filed a refugee claim in Canada before attempting to blow up the Los Angeles airport. Lamey casts new light on a host of broader subjects, from the reasons why terrorists who pose as refugees have an overwhelming failure rate to the hidden benefits of multiculturalism. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThroughout Lamey's account, he focuses on the rights of people in search of asylum, and how those rights are routinely violated. But\u003ci\u003e Frontier Justice\u003c\/i\u003e does not merely point out problems. This book offers a bold case for an original solution to the international asylum crisis, one which draws upon Canada's unique approach to asylum-seekers. At the centre of the book is a new blueprint for how the rights of refugees might be enforced, and a vision of human rights that is ultimately optimistic and deeply affirmative. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn exploring one of the most pressing questions of our age, Lamey provides an absorbing and unsettling look at a world in which, as he notes, there are many rights for citizens, few for human beings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andy Lamey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0385662556\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780385662550\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Anchor Canada\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/27\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 1.10d","brand":"Andy Lamey","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44069602197759,"sku":"9780385662550","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_806fdb68-675b-4e54-b234-d3ac41636dd7.jpg?v=1685425548","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/frontier-justice-andy-lamey-9780385662550","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
