William Maley’s book launch

Professor of Diplomacy at Australian National University, and Refugee Council of Australia's (RCOA) Vice President William Maley launched his remarkable new book What is a Refugee? on 7 November in Sydney, kindly hosted by Colin Biggers & Paisley.

The book offers an illuminating guide to the complex idea of ‘the refugee’ and sets the current crisis within the wider history of human exile, injecting much-needed objectivity and nuance into the debate, whilst telling stories of the families and individuals who have sought refuge, highlighting the suffering, separation and dislocation on their perilous journeys to safety.

Below are some pictures from the launch.
