Abstract

The diverse perspectives work well, collectively, to unpack the stereotypical, reductionist and racialised constructions and framing of refugees and asylum seekers in Australian public discourse. Refugee Journeys: Histories of Resettlement, Representation and Resistance: Edited by Jordana Silverstein and Rachel Stevens. The book collection brings together diverse perspectives and research on the historical trajectories of asylum-seeker policies, mapping out the underlying ideological and political forces behind these policies.
