Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The poems in this collection respond to the failed institutional responses to child sexual abuse as detailed in the Australian Royal Commission report handed down in 2017. The poems reflect the writers own background in the Roman Catholic tradition and her situation as a settler on stolen First Nations lands and the related institutional failures in both cases. Poet and researcher Anne Elvey was part of a group of four whistleblowers who approached the Vicar-General of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Melbourne more than three decades ago about the behaviour of a parish priest, now deceased, whom the diocese has since accepted was serially abusing children. In these poems, a sense of the sacredness of matter stands alongside lament for the loss of church as a community because significant church leaders did not honour the sacred in the communitys own most vulnerable members. (C)loud begins with lament, then explores the poets experience of being part of the problem and her increasingly fraught relationship to an inherited tradition of Roman Catholicism. The collection moves toward a poetic reinterpretation both of and beyond a Roman Catholic sacramental tradition after the Royal Commission - but does not pardon it. Towards the end of the collection the poem Loud honours the voices of all those who cried out and the eloquent remembrance given material expression through the Loud Fence movement. The title of the collection holds the word loud as part of an ongoing story that has been clouded for too long.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. This collection of poems is the work of former refugee and journalist, Abdul Samad Haidari. The poems, grouped in five sections, give expression to the authors experiences of flight from war torn Afghanistan to Iran as a child of the oppressed Hazara ethnic group, and later boat travel to Indonesia where he remained as a stateless refugee without his family for almost a decade until being accepted in 2023 to live in Aotearoa New Zealand. The authors poetic voice bears witness to his pain, desperation, courage, resilience and capacity for hope. It forms part of a growing body of literature by long-term refugees who have turned to writing to reach out to the world community from their place of incarceration and to maintain their own sense of humanity and dignity. This is the authors second book. The first The Red Ribbon was published in Indonesia by Gramedia. A collection of poems by Abdul Haidari, a Hazara former refugee. The poems trace his life journey and experience to date - from war torn Afghanistan to long-term statelessness in Indonesia. A moving story of desperation and hope.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. This book documents the complex, drawn out and harsh legal procedures and historically racist and toxic immigration culture that await people arriving by plane and subsequently seeking refugee status in Australia. This story has hitherto been sidelined because of the more notorious offshore detention policies of successive Australian governments for people arriving by boat. In this book, research by Dr Aileen Crowe, a Franciscan nun and refugee advocate, provides both detailed insight into the lived experiences of such would-be migrants and the tangle of immigration processes and laws which they must navigate at their peril. The authors support and advocacy role brings her close to individuals and families attempting to escape numerous forms of persecution in their own countries as they confront further trauma in seeking Australias protection. The book is an important and challenging document for potential migrants and asylum seekers, politicians, lawyers, students of international relations, and the general public internationally. Acts of Cruelty documents the complex and harsh legal procedures and racist immigration culture that can await those arriving by plane to seek refugee status in Australia. Refugee advocates help applicants stand up for their rights. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. SHIRIN: A Novel by Taqi Bakhtyari (Palaver 2026) moves between Afghanistan and suburban Sydney to follow a Hazara refugee as she navigates one decisive year from a childhood marked by the violent imposition of silence to a young womanhood of intense personal and social upheavals and possibilities. SHIRINs protagonist, Aghai, has a defiant goal to memorialise her friend Shirin by going back to inscribe her name on an otherwise anonymous tombstone. With stark images, the novel bears witness to massacre and expulsion from home, and the enduring trauma of refugees long after they reach places of supposed safety. Aghai finds strength and in her own inner resources, in the wisdom of poet Omar Khayyam and in her bond with Kylie, a new friend who reflects both the present of Australia, its imperfect multiculturalism and echoes of a traumatic past. SHIRIN follows the geographical and existential journey of Aghai, a young Hazara girl who flees Afghanistan to live in Sydney where she must finally define her own path.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Written by a Palliative Care Physician this book argues that dementia affects and involves not only individuals with a dementia diagnosis but the networks of people close to and/or caring for that individual. The book encourages us to consider dementia not as the condition of an isolated individual but as a process of change within a social and relational system. Dementia challenges deeply held values of autonomy, individualism, independence, consistency and ideas of personhood. Rather than focus on the question of a cure for dementia, Chapman investigates how it is possible for networks of people to understand and learn from the changes that the arrival of dementia in their midst bring about. Chapman gives important historical, social, medical and philosophical context to the medicalised view of dementia that prevails today. He shows that dementia has had and can have many meanings and can provide many opportunties for rethinking deeply held assumptions. The book is written for a wide public and will be an important resource for those who belong to the networks of family and carers who work with people directly touched by dementia and for dementia sufferers themselves.
