{"product_id":"9781742231396","title":"Refugees: Why seeking asylum is legal and Australia's policies are not","description":"\u003cbr\u003eStopping 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.","brand":"UNSW Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47062728409328,"sku":"9781742231396","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781742231396_p0.jpg?v=1763703694","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781742231396","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
