{"product_id":"refugees-jane-mcadam-9781742231396","title":"Refugees: Why Seeking Asylum Is Legal and Australia's Policies Are Not","description":"Stopping the boats, blocking queue-jumpers, and proving who is a \"real\" refugee have become national obsessions. Misconceptions about refugees and asylum-seekers seem to be increasing, and governments and media continue to exploit anxieties in the community. This clear-headed book rejects spin and panic to explain what our obligations are and who the refugees and asylum-seekers are. It shows that there is a gap between the rhetoric and the legislated rights of refugees, who have been resettled from camps abroad, and asylum-seekers, who arrive by boat. It explains the difference between asylum-seekers, refugees, and migrants. It shows why asylum-seeker policies, developed over decades, are at odds with legal obligations. With real-life examples, the book reminds us that we are talking about real people and their children.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jane McAdam,Fiona Chong\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 174223139X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781742231396\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of New South Wales Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.30w x 0.80d","brand":"Jane McAdam","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":50593338982655,"sku":"9781742231396","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/refugees-jane-mcadam-9781742231396","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
