What is a Refugee? by William Maley
This book is an eye-opener. It is an elegant, expert account of the history of refugees, their formal rights, and their shrinking prospects. It will leave no reader unmoved, and no conscience untroubled.
Philip Pettit
William Maley has done the world a great service — introducing one of the key questions of our times with rich insight and clarity. His book is a thoroughly readable and essential exploration of refugee issues. I learnt a huge amount from his writing, and I highly recommend it.

This is truly a book for its time?… It shows that now, more than ever, it is immoral to remain silent.
Julian Burnside
With the crisis about boat people out of sight for the present, it’s time to calmly consider what refugees are … Maley discusses this global epidemic with facts, cool accounts of the laws, and careful compassion for the individuals caught in the rip-tide of war.
