Human Rights Overboard: Seeking asylum in Australia (authors Linda Briskman, Susie Latham and Chris Goddard) was published by Scribe in 2008. The book documents the People’s Inquiry into Detention, a citizen’s endeavour to expose the policies and practices of immigration detention. The book is mainly derived from the oral testimonies of asylum seekers and refugees, professionals and refugee activists. It contains haunting material on journeys to detention, the processing of claims, detention and the aftermath of detention. On Human Rights Day 2008, the book received the award for literature (non-fiction) from the Australian Human Rights Commission. http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/271845595 Professor Linda Briskman Dr Haruhisa Handa Chair of Human Rights Education Curtin University GPO Box U1987, Perth, WA 6845 [log in to unmask] ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Note: The material contained in this communication comes to you from the Forced Migration Discussion List which is moderated by the Refugee Studies Centre (RSC), Oxford Department of International Development, University of Oxford.
