[Commpsych] Fwd: New book: Human Rights Overboard: Seeking asylum in Australia

[Serdar M. Degirmencioglu]

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.
