Paperback. Zustand: New. 'The sea was rough, waves a few metres, falling on top of us. We were just waiting and hoping and praying that we were going to make it.' - Taozen, proud Australian, proud HazaraSmuggled offers a previously unseen glimpse into the dangerous and shadowy world of people smuggling. It shares harrowing true stories of those fleeing persecution to seek asylum and reshapes our idea of those -sometimes family, sometimes mafia - who help them find it.People smugglers have such currency in Australian politics yet they remain unknowable figures in our migration history. But beyond the rhetoric lies a rich past that reaches far from the maritime borders of our island continent - to Jews escaping the Holocaust, Eastern Europeans slipping through the Iron Curtain, 'boat people' fleeing the Vietnam War, and refugees escaping unthinkable violence in the Middle East and Africa.Based on revealing personal interviews, Smuggled provides a compelling insight into a defining yet unexplored part of Australian history.…

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. ** Runner-up, Frank Broeze Memorial Maritime History Book Prize 2023 **'Louis was an agent of conspiracy, a "people trafficker", helping the captive and the helpless negotiate a precarious avenue to freedom. He was, I believe, genuinely on our side and, to this day, remains a hero for me.' - Les Murray, sports commentator and 'Soccer King'People smugglers are the pariahs of the modern world. There is no other trade so demonised and, yet at the same time, so useful to contemporary Australian politics. But beyond the rhetoric lies a rich history that reaches beyond the maritime borders of our island continent and has a longer lineage than the recent refugee movements of the twenty-first century. Smuggled recounts the journeys to Australia of refugees and their smugglers since the Second World War - from Jews escaping the Holocaust, Eastern Europeans slipping through the Iron Curtain, 'boat people' fleeing the Vietnam War to refugees escaping unthinkable violence in the Middle East and Africa.Based on original research and revealing personal interviews, Smuggled marks the first attempt to detach the term 'people smuggler' from its pejorative connotations, and provides a compelling insight into a defining yet unexplored part of Australia's history.'Smuggled is a pioneering work in Australian immigration history. The history of illegal journeys is a topic rarely discussed let alone researched in any depth. The powerful stories recounted in this compelling book about people smuggling write a new chapter in the history of displacement through the extraordinary experiences of courage, survival and resilience. It is inspiring research which transforms our understanding of the history of migration to Australia through an evocative new lens.' - Professor Joy Damousi, Australian Catholic University'Smuggled is an enthralling book. Each chapter is a short story of a separate and unique journey to safety; dangerous, desperate and daring. Each story adds to our understanding of a smuggler as a person who is often so much more than an unscrupulous criminal. They are frequently skilled facilitators, brave guides and caring escorts. They range from diplomats to simple villagers. It may suit some politicians to colour smugglers as money hungry crooks, but without their help, the refugees in this book, and most refugees in general, would never have made it to Australia to build worthwhile lives. Smuggled is a new, important way to tell our migration history, and is a fascinating read.' - Andrew and Renata Kaldor, Advisory Committee, Kaldor Centre for International Refugee Law'A combination of engaging stories and astute analysis, Smuggled is a timely corrective to the simplistic portrayal of people smugglers as evil scum. Some smugglers may be heroes and some may be villains, but to blame them for the suffering of refugees is to deflect from more important concerns, including the oppression that drives people from their homes and the border controls that force them onto dangerous routes.' - Peter Mares, The Cranlana Centre for Ethical Leadership'In focusing on unexpected voyages and voices, this book provides a counter-narrative to the often-xenophobic rhetoric that has typified Australian responses to asylum seekers and 'illegal immigrants'. The authors empathetically evince the diverse motivations for flight from homelands, plus the many pathways that brought unauthorised arrivals to our shores. They do not romanticise these experiences, nor do they shirk from noting illicit behaviours on the road to refuge. This is a humane and timely work, as the world opens up from a traumatic pandemic and faces new prospects of political and climate upheaval.' - Judges comments, Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. The aftermath of the Second World War marked a radical new moment in the history of migration. For the millions of refugees stranded in Europe, China and Africa, it offered the possibility of mobility to the new world of the West; for countries like Australia that accepted them, it marked the beginning of a radical reimagining of its identity as an immigrant nation. For the next few decades, Australia was transformed by waves of migrants and refugees. However, two of the five million who came between 1947 and 1985 later left. When Migrants Fail to Stay examines why this happened.This innovative collection of essays explores a distinctive form of departure, and its importance in shaping and defining the reordering of societies after World War II. Esteemed historians Ruth Balint, Joy Damousi, and Sheila Fitzpatrick lead a cast of emerging and established scholars to probe this overlooked phenomenon. In doing so, this book enhances our understanding of the migration and its history. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
