Asylum and Extraction in the Republic of Nauru examines the Australian government's policy of exiling asylum seekers to the tiny Pacific island nation of Nauru.
The book draws on extensive fieldwork and interviews with asylum seekers, government officials, and aid workers to provide a detailed account of the conditions in Nauru's detention centers.
It explores the physical and psychological toll that prolonged detention has on asylum seekers, as well as the broader implications of Australia's offshore processing policy.
The book argues that Australia's policy of exiling asylum seekers to Nauru is a form of "extraction," in which the Australian government seeks to extract value from asylum seekers by exploiting their vulnerability.
It also examines the role of the Nauruan government in the offshore processing regime, and the ways in which Nauru has benefited from the influx of Australian aid money.
The book concludes by calling for an end to Australia's offshore processing policy and for a more humane approach to asylum seekers.
It is essential reading for anyone interested in the global refugee crisis, the politics of asylum, or the human rights implications of Australia's immigration policies.
The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it suitable for a wide range of readers.
